You should read this prospectus supplement in conjunction with the prospectus. This prospectus supplement no. 1 is qualified by reference to the prospectus, except to the extent that the information in this prospectus supplement no. 1 supersedes the information contained in the prospectus.

The information appearing under the heading “Selling Stockholders” in the prospectus is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:

The following table provides the name of each selling stockholder and the number of shares of our Class A common stock offered by each selling stockholder under this prospectus. The shares offered by this prospectus may be offered from time to time by the selling stockholders listed below. The selling stockholders are not obligated to sell any of the shares of Class A common stock offered by this prospectus. The information regarding shares beneficially owned after the offering and the percentage of total voting power after the offering assumes the sale of all shares registered by the selling stockholders.

As described in the section of this prospectus titled “Description of Capital Stock – Registration Rights,” we have entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 12, 2009, among us and the Pritzker family business interests party thereto, including the selling stockholders (the 2009 Registration Rights Agreement), pursuant to which we have granted certain registration rights with respect to shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Class B common stock. For information with respect to our relationships with Pritzker family business interests, see “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” included in our Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the annual stockholders’ meeting held on June 15, 2011, which is incorporated by reference herein, and see Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, which is incorporated by reference herein. Except as described above, none of the selling stockholders has any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or our affiliates, nor have they had any position, office or material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years.

The information shown in the table with respect to the percentage of shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned before the offering is based on 45,567,303 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of January 31, 2012 (and does not assume the conversion of any outstanding shares of Class B common stock). The information shown in the table with respect to the percentage of shares of Class B common stock beneficially owned before the offering is based on 119,614,584 shares of Class B common stock outstanding as of January 31, 2012.


Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time into one share of Class A common stock. In addition, each share of Class B common stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A common stock upon any transfer, whether or not for value, except for certain permitted transfers described in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Assuming the sale of all shares offered by the selling stockholders, 18,578,588 shares of Class B common stock will convert into 18,578,588 shares of Class A common stock at the time they are sold by the selling stockholders under this prospectus. The information shown in the table with respect to the percentage of outstanding common stock and percentage of total voting power after the offering is based on 165,181,887 shares of common stock (i.e., Class A common stock and Class B common stock) outstanding as of January 31, 2012, and assumes that (1) no shares of Class B common stock outstanding as of January 31, 2012 have been converted into shares of Class A common stock, other than the 18,578,588 shares assumed to have been sold by the selling stockholders under this prospectus and (2) all shares of Class A common stock registered by the selling stockholders have been sold. The selling stockholders reserve the right to accept or reject, in whole or in part, any proposed sale of shares. The selling stockholders may also offer and sell less than the number of shares indicated. The selling stockholders are not making any representation that any shares covered by this prospectus will or will not be offered for sale.

Information with respect to beneficial ownership is based on our records, information filed with the SEC or information furnished to us by each selling stockholder. Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power and investment power with respect to those securities. Unless otherwise indicated by footnote, and subject to applicable community property laws, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them.
