| (ii) As of December 31, 2021, 3,838,312 shares of Class B Common Stock were held of record by the Theodore H. Geballe Administrative Trust, for which Ms. Geballe serves as a co-trustee. In her capacity as a co-trustee, Ms. Geballe shares voting and dispositive power of the shares of Class B Common Stock referred to in this paragraph (a)(ii). Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes. |
| Page 3 of 5 |
| Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder and has no expiration date. The rights of the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are identical, except with respect to voting, conversion and transfer. Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes. | |
| Ms. Geballe expressly disclaims “beneficial” ownership of all shares of Class B Common Stock referred to in this Item 4, except for those shares owned of record by the Alison F. Geballe Revocable Trust dated 12/19/2008. | |
| (b) | Percent of Class: |
| 6.71% | |
| Based on the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the aggregate amount beneficially owned by the Reporting Person as set forth in Row 9 by (b) the sum of (i) 98,205,835 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of January 20, 2022, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-K for the annual period ended November 28, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 26, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”); and (ii) 7,067,322 shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person. The aggregate number of shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person as set forth in Item 4(a) above are treated as converted into Class A Common Stock only for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the Reporting Person. | |
| Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes. There were 299,815,032 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding as of January 20, 2022, as reported in the Form 10-K, including the 7,067,322 shares of Class B common stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person as set forth in Item 4(a) above. The percentage reported does not reflect the ten for one voting power of the Class B Common Stock because these shares are treated as converted into Class A Common Stock for the purpose of this report. |
