Buy Plan / Sale Plan: These are also open market purchases/sales of shares, but in this case the transaction is part of a trading plan. Rule 10b5-1 allows insiders to setup a trading plan to buy/sell stocks over a certain period of time. Since the purchases/sales are predetermined, this protects the insiders from violating insider trading law.

Transaction was made pursuant to a contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of equity securities of the issuer that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c).

Explanation of Responses:

Id Content
F1 Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder and has no expiration date.
F2 On March 24, 2025, the Reporting Person exercised stock options regarding 2,000 shares of Class B Common Stock (the "Exercise"). Under the terms of the Exercise, the Reporting received 2,000 shares of Class A Common Stock rather than Class B Common Stock. This report reflects the Exercise as the exempt disposition of the stock options, a deemed exempt acquisition of the underlying Class B Common Stock, and a deemed exempt conversion of such Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock.
F3 The shares were sold pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan.
F4 Shares held by the Douglas E Ulman 2016 Irrevocable Trust, for which the reporting person's spouse is the trustee.
F5 Shares held by the Douglas E. Ulman Revocable Trust dated March 17, 2016.
F6 The shares subject to the option are immediately exercisable. One-fourth of the shares subject to the option award vested on October 29, 2017, and thereafter one-forty-eighth of the shares subject to the option award vested monthly.
