On September 24, 2014, the Company issued a press release announcing the new conversion rate applicable to the Company’s class B common stock resulting from its deposit today of $450 million into the litigation escrow account previously established under the Company’s retrospective responsibility plan (the “Plan”). Under the terms of the Plan, this resulted in the decrease in the conversion rate applicable to the Company’s class B common stock from 0.4206 to 0.4121, effective immediately. Therefore, the number of as-converted class B common shares was reduced by 2,089,780 from 103,257,583 to 101,167,803. The deposit and price-per-share calculations were conducted in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation using the volume-weighted average price over the 9-day pricing period from September 11, 2014 through September 23, 2014.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
