Ownership

(a)

As of December 31, 2016, the Reporting Person beneficially owned 88,859,684 shares of Class A Common Stock as follows: 88,859,684 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Issuer (“Class B Common Stock”), held indirectly as the sole general partner of LAL Family Partners L.P. (“LALFP”), which owns the shares directly.

(b)

Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into one share of Class A Common Stock and is automatically converted into one share of Class A Common Stock upon transfer to a person who is not a Permitted Transferee, as that term is defined in the Issuer’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Assuming conversion of all such shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, the Reporting Person would beneficially own 88,859,684 shares of Class A Common Stock as of December 31, 2016, which would constitute approximately 28.6% of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding (based on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of January 26, 2017, as set forth in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed on February 2, 2017).

Each share of Class A Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the Issuer’s stockholders and each share of Class B Common Stock entitles the holder to ten votes on each such matter, including the election of directors of the Issuer. Assuming no conversion of any of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, the 88,859,684 shares of Class B Common Stock for which the Reporting Person has voting power as of December 31, 2016, constitute approximately 53.4% of the aggregate voting power of the Issuer (based on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding as of January 26, 2017, as set forth in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed on February 2, 2017).

(c)

The responses of the Reporting Person to Rows (5) through (8) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13G, as of December 31, 2016, are incorporated herein by reference. The Reporting Person may be deemed to have shared power to vote or dispose, or direct the vote or disposition, of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock directly owned by LALFP.

LALFP is party to the Stockholders’ Agreement described below, and the responses of the Reporting Person on the cover pages of this Schedule 13G do not include shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by those other parties (other than LALFP). Each party thereto separately reports beneficial ownership on a Schedule 13D or 13G, as the case may be.
