The percentage of Class A Common Stock the reporting persons as a group would have if they all converted their shares of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock.

(2)

Based on 43,447,415 shares of Class A Common Stock and 23,775,056 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding as of April 6, 2023, as adjusted for the Group’s transactions in Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock prior to April 6, 2023 and reported in this Amendment No. 28.

This Amendment No. 28 (“Amendment No. 28”) amends the Schedule 13D initially filed on July 24, 1996 (together, with all amendments thereto, the “Schedule 13D”) and is filed to report changes in the beneficial ownership of shares by David D. Smith, Frederick G. Smith, J. Duncan Smith, and Robert E. Smith, each of whom is a member of the Group, as defined in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following:

The Group is filing this Amendment No. 28 to report an increase in the percentage of shares beneficially owned by the Group due to share repurchases by the Issuer.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a—b) The following table sets forth the aggregate number and percentage of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock owned individually by each member of the Group as of April 6, 2023. Holders of Class B Common Stock may exchange their shares of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock at any time and therefore, each share of Class B Common Stock represents beneficial ownership of one share of Class A Common Stock. Except as noted, each person has sole power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of all of the shares set forth below and no other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such securities. By virtue of the Stockholders’ Agreement dated April 2, 2015, by and among David D. Smith, Frederick G. Smith, J. Duncan Smith, and Robert E. Smith (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), each member of the Group is required to vote all of his Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock in favor of the other members of the Group to cause their election as directors. Each member may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock individually owned by the other members. Nevertheless, each member of the group disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares owned by the other members of the group.

(1)

Based on 43,447,415 shares of Class A Common Stock and 23,775,056 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding as of April 6, 2023, as adjusted for the Group’s transactions in Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock prior to April 6, 2023 and reported in this Amendment No. 28.

 

(2)

The first four rows of this column set forth the percentage of Class A Common Stock each reporting person would beneficially own if he converted his shares of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock and the other reporting persons did not. The last row in this column shows the percentage of Class A Common Stock the reporting persons as a group would have if they all converted their shares of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock.

 

(3)

Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share except for votes relating to “going private” and certain other transactions. Holders of both classes of Common Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters presented for a vote, except as otherwise may be required by Maryland law, and holders of Class B Common Stock may exchange their shares of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock at any time. This column sets forth the voting power each reporting person has on the matters on which shares of Class B Common Stock have ten votes per share, and the voting power the reporting persons as a group have on such matters.

(4)

The first four rows of this column set forth the voting power each reporting person would have on matters on which the shares of Class B Common Stock have ten votes per share if he converted his shares of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock and the other reporting persons did not. The last row in this column shows the voting power the reporting persons as a group would have if they all converted their shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock.

 

(5)

Includes 6,911,072 shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned, each of which is convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock, including 6,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock held in several irrevocable trusts established by David D.

Smith; 803,178 shares of Class A Common Stock held in trust for the David D. Smith Family Foundation; 162,553 shares of Class A Common Stock in a limited liability company controlled by David D. Smith; 607,154 shares of Class A Common Stock; 15,582 shares of Class A Common Stock held in the 401(k) Plan; 381,242 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock; and shares of Class A Common Stock related to 743,733 outstanding and exercisable SARs with exercise prices ranging from $15.97 to $27.48 per share. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would be issued upon exercise of the SARs is determined by dividing the amount from the difference between the aggregate market value of the shares underlying the SARs and the aggregate exercise price of the SARs by the market share price on the date of exercise. There would have been 35,922 shares of Class A Common Stock issued, assuming that all of the vested, in-the-money, outstanding and exercisable SARs were exercised on April 6, 2023, based on the closing value of a share of Class A Common Stock on April 6, 2023 of $17.49 and the underlying exercise prices of the vested, in-the-money SARs.

 

(6)

Includes 3,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned, each of which is convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock; 300,000 shares of Class A Common Stock held in irrevocable trusts established by Frederick Smith for the benefit of family members; 189,000 shares of Class A Common Stock; and 12,626 shares of Class A Common Stock held in the 401(k) Plan.
