As of September 30, 2025, the Issuer had 76,869,408 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and 11,932,722 shares of Common Voting Stock outstanding. Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to elect the greater of three directors or one-third of the directors of the Issuer but are not entitled to vote on any other matters except as required by Ohio law. Holders of Common Voting Stock are entitled to elect the remaining directors and to vote on all other matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. The Reporting Persons beneficially own approximately 4.3 million shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 5.70% of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock. In 2018, GAMCO nominated three individuals for election to the Issuer's Board of Directors. These nominees were not elected at the Issuer's 2018 annual meeting. The Issuer's adjusted closing Class A stock price (accounting for subsequent corporate actions) on the date of the 2018 annual meeting was approximately $9.31.

A copy of the Reporting Person's press release is attached as Exhibit A to this Amendment No. 4. A copy of the Reporting Person's letter to the Issuer dated December 22, 2025, is attached as Exhibit B to this Amendment No. 4, and a copy of Issuer's response dated January 9, 2026, is attached as Exhibit C to this Amendment No. 4.Item 4 of the SCHEDULE 13D/A filed 2026-01-16

Where this comes from

Anyone who comes to own more than 5% of a class of a listed company's voting shares has to tell the SEC. A holder who may seek to change or influence the company files Schedule 13D, and has to say in Item 4, "Purpose of Transaction", what it intends to do. A holder with no such intent, such as many index and passive funds, may file the shorter Schedule 13G. Both are amended when the stake changes, including when it falls below 5%.

Every row here is one of those filings, linked to the filing itself. Percentages and share counts are exactly as the holder filed them, for the holder the filing names; an amendment showing a lower figure is shown as filed. Item 4 text is quoted word for word. Where a 13D's Item 4 contains a sentence stating a definite intent to influence the company, that sentence is marked and quoted; the page does not describe the holder or its motives beyond the words it filed. Nothing here is investment advice.
