Explanation of Responses:
1. The Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time at the holder's option on a one-for-one basis into Class A Common Stock and has no expiration date. The Class B Common Stock is automatically converted into Class A Common Stock upon any sale by the reporting person to any party other than Capital Group International, Inc., or its subsidiaries or affiliates. Class B Common Stock generally has identical rights as Class A Common Stock, except that holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share while holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to five votes per share on matters to be voted on by shareholders with certain exceptions.
2. Immediately after the pricing of the Issuer's initial public offering ("IPO") of its class A common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), the Issuer amended its certificate of incorporation. The amendment and restatement, among other things, (i) created two new classes of stock, the Class A Common Stock and the class B common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class B Common Stock"), which generally is convertible into Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis and (ii) reclassified each of the Issuer's then-outstanding shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock") into 2,861.235208 shares of Class B Common Stock (the "Reclassification").
