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.
