Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing details.
Footnotes summary:
- F1: DERs (dividend-equivalent rights) represent contingent rights to receive Class A shares upon settlement; vest/deliver consistent with underlying awards; unvested awards vest earlier of the day before the next annual meeting or first anniversary of grant; some DERs are already fully vested; awards have a deferred-delivery feature.
- F2: Class B shares are convertible into Class A shares at the holder’s option.
- F3: Some DERs relate to Class B shares, are fully vested, and underlying Class B shares issued upon settlement are subject to deferred delivery.
Filing timeliness: Filing appears timely (not late).

Context

DERs are not immediate share transfers but contingent rights to receive shares (and may represent dividend equivalents) when settled; deferred delivery means the actual shares may be issued later. Director awards like this are routine compensation and do not, by themselves, indicate a buy or sell market signal.
