Item 4.
Ownership
(a)
Amount beneficially owned:
The reporting person has sole voting and dispositive power over 30,000 shares of Class A common stock held by the reporting person's profit sharing plan.
The reporting person may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over 1,434,256 shares of Class A common stock and 582,972 shares of Class B common stock (which shares are convertible into the same number of shares of Class A common stock at the option of the holder at any time, with each share of Class A common stock having one vote and each share of Class B common stock having ten votes on all matters to be voted upon by the issuer's shareholders). This includes (i) a total of 194,878 shares of Class A common stock and a total of 582,972 shares of Class B common stock held by the reporting person as trustee for certain grantor retained annuity trusts ("GRATs"), an estate, and certain other irrevocable trusts; (ii) a total of 552,000 shares of Class A common stock held by the reporting person in certain irrevocable trusts for the benefit of the adult children of Angela L. Muhleisen, an affiliate of the reporting person; and (iv) a total of 687,378 shares of Class A common stock held by the reporting person for the accounts of miscellaneous trusts, IRAs, and investment accounts at the reporting person, which is a commercial bank and trust company. The number of Class A shares of common stock over which the reporting person may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power reflects that effective November 10, 2025, the reporting person does not have shared voting and dispositive power over certain individual accounts at the reporting person of Ms. Muhleisen and her adult children holding a total of 1,777,897 shares of Class A common stock. The number of shares for which the reporting person may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power excludes a total of 6,775,420 shares of Class B common stock and a total of 426,002 shares of Class A common stock held by the reporting person as trustee (including shares of Class B common stock held indirectly through the holding of 50% of the outstanding capital stock of Union Financial Services, Inc. ("UFS"), which holds a total of 1,586,691 shares of Class B common stock) for certain GRATs, certain post-annuity trusts established upon the expiration of the annuity terms of certain GRATs, and certain other irrevocable trusts for which a majority owned subsidiary of the issuer has been designated to serve as investment adviser with investment power with respect to shares of the issuer's stock held by such trusts and voting power with respect to shares of the issuer's stock held by such trusts, including, with respect to a certain trust, shares of the issuer's stock held indirectly through the holding of 50% of the outstanding capital stock of UFS. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares discussed above except to the extent that the reporting person actually has or shares voting power or investment power with respect to such shares, and the reporting thereof shall not be construed as an admission that the reporting person is a beneficial owner of such shares.
