2. On December 14, 2018, the Reporting Person filed a Form 4, which inadvertently excluded the distribution of certain shares of the Issuer's Class B Common Stock (the "Distributed Shares").

In addition, on the first trading day following the date on which the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock represent less than 10% of the aggregate voting power of the Issuer's then outstanding capital stock, all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall convert automatically into Class A Common Stock, and no additional shares of Class B Common Stock will be issued.
