The award - initially determined as a cash value - was subject to a three-year performance period, which ended April 30, 2015. The number of shares issued was determined by multiplying the cash value of the award by a three-year performance adjustment factor, dividing that amount by $60.67, which is the adjusted closing price of the issuer's Class A common stock on the date of the grant, and then adjusting upwards to account for dividends paid during the second and third years of the performance period. Number of shares acquired through the issuer's 401(k) plan as of May 28, 2015. Number of shares acquired through the issuer's dividend reinvestment plan as of May 28, 2015. Number of shares acquired through the issuer's employee stock purchase program as of May 28, 2015. Kelly A. Bowen, Attorney in Fact for Matthew E. Hamel 2015-06-03
