The Company and MSF entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement. A Distribution Trust was formed under a Distribution Trust Agreement with an unaffiliated trustee. MSF delivered all issued and outstanding Company Class A and Class B common shares to the Distribution Trust. The Distribution Trust distributed 80.1% of the issued and outstanding Company Class A and Class B shares pro rata to holders of record on April 2, 2018 of MSF Class A and Class B shares, respectively. Each record holder of MSF common stock received one share of our Class A common stock for each share of MSF class A common stock, and one share of our Class B common stock for each share of MSF class B common stock. The Distribution Trust holds 19.9% of our Class A and Class B common stock as retained shares for the benefit of MSF pending MSF’s sale or disposition of such shares.

On October 11, 2018 the Board of Directors approved a one-for-three combination equivalent to a reverse stock split (the "Split") of each of the Company's Class A common stock and the Company's Class B common stock.

As a result of the Split, effectively on October 23, 2018 at 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time, every three shares of the Company's Class A common stock and the Company's Class B common stock became automatically combined and reclassified into one share of Company Class A common stock or one share of Company Class B common stock, respectively. Fractional shares were issued in connection with the Split, and the Company paid no cash in lieu of fractional shares.

The Company's Class A common stock and Class B common stock will begin to trade today, October 24, 2018, on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, on a split-adjusted basis. Each new Class A or Class B common stock will represent three of the previous Class A or Class B common stock, respectively.
