 which means that a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock as of the Record Date must be present. Shares of Class B Common Stock will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum if those shares are:

| ● | voted over the Internet or by telephone in advance of the Annual Meeting; |

| ● | properly submitted via Proxy (even if the Proxy does not provide voting instructions) in advance of the Annual Meeting; or |

| ● | present at the Annual Meeting and voted in person. |

Abstentions and “broker non-votes” will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a registered holder (such as a broker or bank) holding shares in “street name” for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the registered holder has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have, or declines to exercise, discretionary voting power with respect to that particular proposal. As described below, registered holders that have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner may, although they are not required to, vote such shares with respect to the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Registered holders are not entitled to exercise discretionary voting authority with respect to any other matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. How many shares of Class B Common Stock are outstanding? How many votes is each share of Class B Common Stock entitled to at the Annual Meeting? As of the Record Date, we had outstanding 19,144,928 shares of Class B Common Stock and each share is entitled to one vote for each of the director nominees to be elected at the Annual Meeting, and one vote on each other matter to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. How may I vote on each of the Proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting? With respect to the election of directors, you may:

| ● | vote FOR all nominees; |

| ● | withhold authority to vote for one or more of the nominees and vote FOR the remaining nominees; or |

| ● | withhold authority to vote for all nine (9) nominees. |

With respect to the other proposals to be voted at the Annual Meeting, you may:

| ● | vote FOR the proposal; |

| ● | vote AGAINST the proposal; or |

| ● | ABSTAIN from voting on the proposal. |
