* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) As provided in the Issuer's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into one share of Class A Common Stock. In addition, each share of Class B Common Stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A Common Stock upon any transfer, whether or not for value, except for certain permitted transfers described in the Issuer's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
(2) On January 1, 2012, the trustee of 1740 Trust #40-Jaybird B transferred to certain lineal descendants of Nicholas J. Pritzker, deceased, 772 shares of Class B Common Stock in the aggregate beneficially owned by 1740 Trust #40-Jaybird B. No cash consideration was paid in connection with the transfers from 1740 Trust #40-Jaybird B. Each of the transfers of shares of Class B Common Stock to the recipients constitutes a "permitted transfer" as defined under the Issuer's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

over the shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Reporting Person.  In addition, the Reporting Person may be deemed to be a member

Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.  The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except
