Item 5. |
Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
(a) The reporting person may be deemed to beneficially own 13,886,295 shares of the Issuer's stock, which is 25.7% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock.
The number of shares reported in this Item 5(a) includes 13,755,945 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer which are immediately convertible into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder. In addition, if shares of Class B Common Stock are transferred to any persons other than a "Permitted Transferee" (as defined in the Issuer's Second Restated Articles of Incorporation), such shares are automatically converted on share-for-share basis into shares of Class A Common Stock. Shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer have the same attributes as shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer except that each share of Class B Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to ten votes on all matters upon which shareholders have a right to vote and each share of Class A Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on such matters.
If all the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, Mr. Van Haren may be deemed to beneficially own approximately 9.4% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock.
(b) The reporting person holds the sole power to vote and dispose of 350 shares of the Issuer's stock. The reporting person holds the shared power to vote and dispose of 13,885,945 shares of the Issuer's stock as co-trustee of the trusts holding such shares.
