Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )The Reporting Person transferred 100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to his ex-spouse on or around June 20, 2017 in connection with a divorce settlement. Following a routine review of the Reporting Person's holdings, the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock reflect a reduction of 99,849 shares from the time of the Reporting Person's last Section 16 report. Records are no longer available to determine whether the 151-share discrepancy was the result of a historical accounting error or share acquisition. ( 2 )Includes shares held by WG6 LLC, with respect to which the Reporting Person, Peter Booth Wiley ("PBW") and Deborah E. Wiley ("DEW") may be deemed to share beneficial ownership. ( 3 )Includes shares held by E.P. Hamilton Trusts LLC ("EPH LLC"), with respect to which the Reporting Person, PBW and DEW share beneficial ownership. ( 4 )The Reporting Person's last Section 16 report reflected indirect ownership through EPH LLC of 438,338 shares of Class A Common Stock, a typographical error which has been corrected to reflect indirect ownership through EPH LLC of 462,338 shares of Class A Common Stock . ( 5 )Includes shares held by W. Bradford Wiley & Associates, L.P. ("WBW LP"), with respect to which the Reporting Person, PBW and DEW share beneficial ownership. ( 6 )Includes shares held under the Trust of Esther B. Wiley, with respect to which the Reporting Person, PBW and DEW share beneficial ownership. Following a routine review of the Reporting Person's holdings, the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock held under the Trust of Esther B. Wiley have been updated to reflect the acquisition of approximately 600 shares of Class A Common Stock that was inadvertently not reported and with respect to which records are no longer available.
