Explanation of Responses:

1. On March 17, 2016, the reporting person transferred 3,668,810 shares of Class A common stock of the issuer to a newly-formed Luxembourg corporation (the "Corporation") for estate planning purposes in exchange for shares of the Corporation. Effective upon the transfer, the reporting person ceased to be the "beneficial owner" of such shares for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, as he ceased at such time to have any investment or other control over the shares.

2. The reporting person may be deemed to have an indirect pecuniary interest representing less than 2% of the Class A common stock held by JAB Cosmetics B.V. The reporting person disclaims such pecuniary interest except to the extent, if any, it is realized.

Remarks:

On March 9, 2016, the reporting person filed a Form 4 reporting the transfer of 4,668,810 shares of the Class A common stock of the issuer to the Corporation for estate planning purposes in exchange for shares of the Corporation. That Form 4 was filed prematurely and overstated the number of shares that the reporting person transferred to the Corporation. This Form 4/A is being filed to amend the date of transfer from March 9, 2016 to March 17, 2016 and to accurately reflect the number of shares of Class A common stock (from 4,668,810 to 3,668,810 shares) that were actually transferred by the reporting person in connection with such transfer.
