The number of shares reported above includes 5,450,350 shares of Class B
Common Stock of the Issuer which are immediately convertible into an equal
number of shares of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder. In
addition, if shares of Class B Common Stock are transferred to any person other
than a "Permitted Transferee" (as defined in the Issuer's Second Restated
Articles of Incorporation), such shares are automatically converted on a share-
for-share basis into shares of Class A Common Stock. Shares of Class B Common
Stock of the Issuer have the same attributes as shares of Class A Common Stock
of the Issuer except that each share of Class B Common Stock entitles the holder
thereof to ten votes on all matters upon which Shareholders have a right to vote
and each share of Class A Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote
on such matters.
If all the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer were
converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, Mr. Welch would be deemed to be
the beneficial owner of 3.6% of the Class A Common Stock.
