*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(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 trustees of each of the Pritzker Family U.S. Situs Trusts transferred to certain lineal descendants of Nicholas J. Pritzker, deceased, 3,167,750 shares of Class B Common Stock in the aggregate beneficially owned by the Pritzker Family U.S. Situs Trusts. No cash consideration was paid in connection with the transfers from the Pritzker Family U.S. Situs Trusts. 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.
(3)	Shares held of record by the Pritzker Family U.S. Situs Trusts for the benefit of certain lineal descendants of Nicholas J. Pritzker, deceased, and their immediate family members. Thomas J.

Remarks: Member of 10% owner group. Also see Footnote 3 above. In connection with the transfers of stock described above, Thomas J. Pritzker, Marshall E. Eisenberg and Karl J. Breyer, not individually, but solely in their capacity as co-trustees of the Pritzker Family U.S. Situs Trusts, have filed a Schedule 13D with the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
