Explanation of Responses:

Id	Content
F1	This transaction reflects the conversion of restricted stock units into Class A Common Shares.
F2	This restricted stock award will vest in 2024. Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit will convert into one Class A Common Share of the Company.
F3	Pursuant 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.
