Explanation of responses
- F1This transaction reflects the conversion of restricted stock units into Class A Common Shares.
- F2Pursuant to the company's 1997 Deferred Compensation and Stock Plan for Directors, directors may defer fees into a phantom stock fund. Under this plan, fees are allocated to a phantom shares account based on the fair market value of the company's Class A Common Shares on the last trading day of each quarter. Balances are paid in either shares or cash at the time a director leaves the Board.
