Explanation of Responses:	
(  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-AD 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-AD. No cash consideration was paid in connection with the transfers from 1740 Trust #40-AD. 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.	

Remarks:
Member of 10% owner group. CIBC Trust Company (Bahamas) Limited serves as trustee of the Reporting Person and has investment power
over the shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person. The beneficiary of the Reporting Person does not have investment power
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
of a group because the Reporting Person has agreed to certain voting agreements and limitations on transfers of shares of Class A
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except
to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.
