Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of our Class A common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C capital stock to file with the SEC reports of ownership of our securities and changes in reported ownership. Based on a review of reports filed with the SEC, or written representations from reporting persons that all reportable transactions were reported, we believe that, during 2024, our directors, executive officers, and ten percent stockholders timely filed all reports that were required to be filed under Section 16(a), except: (i) Ruth’s charitable gifts of 10,000 shares of Class C capital stock on each July 27, 2023 and on May 7, 2024 were reported on Form 4 filed with the SEC on July 30, 2024; and (ii) Amie Thuener O’Toole’s sale of 682 shares of Class C capital stock on May 2, 2024 was reported on Form 4 filed with the SEC on May 14, 2024. In making this statement, we have relied upon examination of the copies of Forms 3, 4, and 5, and amendments to these forms provided to us, and the written representations of our directors, executive officers, and ten percent stockholders.
