Explanation of Responses:

This transaction is a gift of shares by the reporting person to a charitable foundation. The reporting person is a member of the board of directors of the recipient charitable foundation and shares voting and investment power over, but has no pecuniary interest in, the assets of the foundation.

This transaction is a gift by the reporting person of his entire ownership interest in the sole general partner of the limited partnership, which holds the reported Class P common stock, to family members who do not share the reporting person's household; the sole general partner owns a 1.0% general partner interest in the limited partnership, and two trusts (of which family members not sharing the reporting person's household are sole beneficiaries and the reporting person is sole trustee, but with respect to which the reporting person has no pecuniary interest) each own a 49.5% limited partner interest in the limited partnership.

These shares are owned by the reporting person's spouse as her sole and separate property. Mr. Kean has no right, title or interest in, and disclaims all ownership interest in, these shares.
