Assuming no conversion of 729,467 shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned or deemed to be owned by the Reporting Person, he would beneficially own or be deemed to beneficially own 729,467 shares of Class B Common Stock which would constitute 1.0% of the aggregate voting power of the Issuer. (c) (i) Assuming conversion of 729,467 shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned or deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, with respect to which the Reporting Person has sole voting power, the Reporting Person would have sole power voting over 729,467 shares of Class A Common Stock held directly by him. (ii) Not applicable. (iii) Assuming conversion of 729,467 shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned or deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, with respect to which the Reporting Person has sole dispositive power, the Reporting Person would have sole dispositive power over 729,467 shares of Class A Common Stock held directly by him.
