Explanation of Responses:
(1) 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.
(2) Pursuant to the company's 1997 Deferred Compensation and Stock Plan for Directors, at the end of each calendar quarter, the number of shares credited to a Phantom Stock Account shall be increased by any dividends paid on shares during that calendar quarter.
(3) This restricted stock unit award will vest in 2020. Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit will convert into one Class A Common Share of the Company.
