Each share of Class B Common Stock is immediately convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock. The Class B Common Stock includes 8,226 shares of Class B Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 2016. As provided in the Issuer’s Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share and, except with respect to certain matters, the Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes per share. Assuming such ten votes per share of Class B Common Stock, Mr. Christian’s beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (including Class B Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options) together represent approximately 63.9% of the combined voting power of the Issuer’s outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.
