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 1,957,368 shares of Class A Common Stock and the
1,914,608 shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned
by the Reporting Person constitute 3.4% of the aggregate
voting power of the Issuer.
