As of November 27, 2015, 8,770,612 shares of Class A and 1,212,382 shares of Class B common stock of the registrant were outstanding. The aggregate market value of voting and non-voting common stock of the registrant held by nonaffiliates of the registrant was approximately $139,000,000 on April 2, 2015 (the last business day preceding the registrant’s most recently completed fiscal second quarter) based on approximately 4,760,000 shares of Class A common stock held by nonaffiliates as of such date. For purposes of this calculation only, shares of all voting stock are deemed to have a market value of $34.66 per share, the closing price of the Class A common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global MarketSM on April 2, 2015 (the last trading day preceding the registrant’s most recently completed fiscal second quarter). Shares of common stock held by any executive officer or director of the registrant (including all shares beneficially owned by the Johnson Family) have been excluded from this computation because such persons may be deemed to be affiliates. This determination of affiliate status is not a conclusive determination for other purposes.
