Explanation of Responses:

1. Held by Mr. Casella's spouse. Mr. Casella disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities indicated to the extent to which he does not have an actual pecuniary interest in such securities.

2. Represents a gift of shares by Mr. Casella's spouse to a Spousal Lifetime Access Trust for the benefit of Mr. Casella ("SLAT 2"). Mr. Casella is the trustee of the SLAT 2.

3. Amount shown reflects an adjustment to correct an inadvertent administrative error that omitted 100 shares of the issuer's Class B Common Stock from columns 4 and 5 of Table I in the Form 4 filed by Mr. Casella on November 15, 2022 ("Previous Form 4"). Table I, column 4 of the Previous Form 4 correctly reported Mr. Casella's disposition of 194,100 shares of Class B Common Stock to his spouse as a gift, but the corresponding acquisition of such shares by Mr. Casella's spouse was inadvertently reported as 194,000 shares of Class B Common Stock in Table I, column 4 as well as in Table I, column 5 reporting indirect beneficial ownership. In both cases, the amount should have been reported as 194,100 shares of Class B Common Stock.

4. Held by the SLAT 2 for the benefit of Mr. Casella. Mr. Casella is the trustee of the SLAT 2.

5. Held by the Spousal Lifetime Access Trust for the benefit of Mr. Casella's spouse ("SLAT").
