Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  These shares were issued on June 1, 2016, in connection with a July 25, 2013 award of Class A common performance-based restricted stock. The award, initially determined as a cash value, was subject to a three-year performance period, which ended April 30, 2016. The number of shares issued was determined by multiplying the cash value of the award by a three-year performance adjustment factor, dividing the amount by $74.06, which is the closing price of the issuers Class A common stock on the date of the grant, and then adjusting upwards to account for dividends paid during the performance period.
( 2)  Updated to correct exercise price.
