Each RSU held by the Trust represents the contingent right to receive, in accordance with the issuance schedule set forth in the applicable RSU award agreement between the Issuer and the reporting person, one Class A share for each vested RSU. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities held by the Trust except to the extent of the reporting person's pecuniary interest therein.
