We expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends, although each dividend is subject to approval by our Board of Directors. In
February 2015, our Board of Directors approved an 11.1% increase in our dividend to $1.00 per share on an annualized basis and
approved our first quarter dividend of $0.25 per share to be paid in April 2015.
Holders of Class A common stock in the aggregate hold 66 /
% of the voting power of our common stock. The number of votes
that each share of Class A common stock has at any given time depends on the number of shares of Class A common stock and
Class B common stock then outstanding. Holders of shares of Class A Special common stock cannot vote in the election of
directors or otherwise, except where class voting is required by law. In that case, shares of Class A Special common stock have the
same number of votes per share as shares of Class A common stock. The Class B common stock has a 33 /
% nondilutable
voting interest, and each share of Class B common stock has 15 votes per share. Mr. Brian L. Roberts beneficially owns all
outstanding shares of Class B common stock. Generally, including as to the election of directors, holders of Class A common stock
and Class B common stock vote as one class except where class voting is required by law.
