(1) Pursuant to the company's 1997 Deferred Compensation and Stock Plan for Directors, directors may defer fees into a phantom stock fund. Under this plan, fees are converted quarterly into phantom shares at the fair market value of the company's Class A Common Shares on the last trading day of each quarter. Upon retirement as a director or at another specified date, the balance may be paid in either shares or cash. At March 31, 2009, Mr. Quin's account was credited with 3,029.81 phantom shares and on June 30, 2009, the account was credited with 2,227.87 shares.
(2) This restricted stock unit award will vest on February 17, 2010. Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit will convert into one Class A Common share of the Company based on the closing price of the Company's shares on the vesting date.
(3) This restricted stock unit award will vest on May 5, 2010. Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit will convert into one Class A Common share of the Company based on the closing price of the Company's shares on the vesting date.
