The following information is as of the close of business on June 29,
1999:
The Voting Trust beneficially owns 14,113,774 shares of Common Stock,
constituting 43.02% of the Issuer's total shares outstanding. Under the terms of
the Voting Trust Agreement, the Voting Trust has sole power to vote or direct
the vote of, and shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of, the
12,539,974 shares deposited in the Voting Trust. The shared power over the
disposition of these shares exists by virtue of the Voting Trustees' authority
over the withdrawal of such shares (described above in Item 2). The total figure
also includes 1,573,800 shares that are beneficially owned by OPUBCO, a
corporation that is controlled by the Voting Trust, over which the Voting Trust
may be deemed to share power over the voting and disposition by reason of its
control. The Voting Trust disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by
OPUBCO.
Edward L. Gaylord has the power to vote or direct the vote of, or to
dispose or direct the disposition of, 14,883,207 shares of Common Stock,
constituting 45.13% of total shares outstanding. This figure does not include
shares owned by Mr. Gaylord's wife Thelma F. Gaylord, his children Christine
Gaylord Everest, Edward K. Gaylord II, and Louise Gaylord Bennett, and his
sister Edith Gaylord Harper, as to which Mr. Gaylord disclaims beneficial
ownership. It does include 4,666,558 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Gaylord as
Trustee for the Edward L. Gaylord Revocable Trust (4,635,998 of which are held
in the Voting Trust); 828,646 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Gaylord as
Trustee for the Mary I. Gaylord Revocable Living Trust (all of which are held in
the Voting Trust); 128,625 shares beneficially owned by The Oklahoman
Foundation, a charitable trust of which Mr. Gaylord is a co-Trustee with
Christine Gaylord Everest and Edward K. Gaylord II; 262,395 shares beneficially
owned by Gayno, Inc., a corporation controlled by Mr. Gaylord; 143,583 shares
beneficially owned by the E.L. and Thelma Gaylord Foundation, a charitable trust
of which Mr. Gaylord is a co-Trustee with his wife Thelma F. Gaylord; 33,333
shares beneficially owned by The Mary Gaylord Foundation, a charitable
foundation of which Mr. Gaylord is a co-Trustee with his daughter Mary I.
Gaylord; 170,937 shares subject to
PAGE 8 OF 11
<PAGE> 9
unexercised stock options; and 1,573,800 shares beneficially owned by OPUBCO, a
corporation of which Mr. Gaylord is Chairman with the shared power to vote and
dispose of the shares as portfolio securities, as to which Mr. Gaylord disclaims
beneficial ownership. Because Mr. Gaylord is a Voting Trustee of the Voting
Trust with shared voting power over the shares in the Voting Trust, the figure
also includes the shares held in the Voting Trust that are owned by persons
other than Mr. Gaylord, as to which Mr. Gaylord disclaims beneficial ownership.
Of the aggregate number of shares reported above, Mr. Gaylord has sole power to
vote or direct the vote of, and sole power to dispose or direct the disposition
of, 463,892 shares, and shared power to vote or direct the vote of, and shared
power to dispose or direct the disposition of, 14,419,315 shares.
Edith Gaylord Harper has the power to vote or direct the vote of, or to
dispose or direct the disposition of, 14,510,708 shares of Common Stock,
constituting 44.23% of total shares outstanding. This figure does not include
shares owned by Mrs. Harper's brother Edward L. Gaylord, as to which Mrs. Harper
disclaims beneficial ownership. It does include 2,133,371 shares held by the
Edith Gaylord Harper 1995 Revocable Trust, of which 1,736,437 shares are held in
the Voting Trust. Mrs. Harper is a co-Trustee of that trust with William J. Ross
and David O. Hogan. Because Mrs. Harper is a Voting Trustee of the Voting Trust
with shared voting power over the shares in the Voting Trust, the figure also
includes the shares held in the Voting Trust that are owned by persons other
than Mrs. Harper and the shares beneficially owned by OPUBCO over which the
Voting Trust may be deemed to share power over the voting and disposition (as
described above), as to which Mrs. Harper disclaims beneficial ownership. Mrs.
Harper has shared power to vote or direct the vote of, and shared power to
dispose or direct the disposition of, all the shares reported above.
Edward K. Gaylord II has the power to vote or direct the vote of, or to
dispose or direct the disposition of, 14,319,609 shares of Common Stock,
constituting 43.54% of total shares outstanding. This figure does not include
shares owned by Mr. Gaylord's parents, Edward L. and Thelma F. Gaylord, or his
siblings Christine Gaylord Everest and Louise Gaylord Bennett, as to which Mr.
Gaylord disclaims beneficial ownership. It does include 402,500 shares
beneficially owned by Mr. Gaylord, which are deposited in the Voting Trust;
128,625 shares beneficially owned by The Oklahoman Foundation, a charitable
trust of which Mr. Gaylord is a co-Trustee with Christine Gaylord Everest and
Edward L. Gaylord; 77,210 shares subject to unexercised stock options; and
1,573,800 shares beneficially owned by OPUBCO, a corporation of which Mr.
Gaylord is President with the shared power to vote and dispose of the shares as
portfolio securities, as to which Mr. Gaylord disclaims beneficial ownership.
Because Mr. Gaylord is a Voting Trustee of the Voting Trust with shared voting
power over the shares in the Voting Trust, the figure also includes the shares
held in the Voting Trust that are owned by persons other
PAGE 9 OF 11
<PAGE> 10
than Mr. Gaylord, as to which Mr. Gaylord disclaims beneficial ownership. Of the
aggregate number of shares reported above, Mr. Gaylord has sole power to vote or
direct the vote of, and sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of,
77,210 shares, and shared power to vote or direct the vote of, and shared power
to dispose or direct the disposition of, 14,242,399 shares.
Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons has engaged in
any transactions in the Common Stock of the Issuer during the past sixty days.
Except as set forth above, there are no other persons with the right to
receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds
from the sale of, the securities described herein.
