Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

On March 9, 2018, 540,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (Class B Common Stock), of the Issuer were distributed from the RYG 2012 GRAT to Michael Greenberg, Scott Greenberg, Jason Greenberg, Jeffrey Greenberg, Joshua Greenberg and Jennifer Greenberg Messer (the Recipients), and 540,000 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer were distributed from the MSG 2012 GRAT to the Recipients (collectively, the Distributions).
