                     (a), (b) and (c)

                     Based on information provided by the Company, as of
                     December 31, 1996, there were outstanding 24,269,533
                     shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per
                     share (the "Class A Common Stock"), and 109,838,762
                     shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per
                     share (the "Class B Common Stock").  Each share of
                     Class A Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote
                     on each matter submitted to a vote of the Company's
                     stockholders, including the election of directors, and
                     each share of Class B Common Stock entitles the holder
                     to ten votes on each such matter.  Except as required
                     by applicable law, holders of the Class A Common Stock
                     and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single
                     class on all matters submitted to a vote of the
                     stockholders of the Company.  The table below
                     indicates beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock
                     as of December 31, 1996 of Ingram Thrift Plan.
                     Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
                     Securities Exchange Act of 1934, certain securities
                     convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of Class
                     A Common Stock, may be deemed to be shares of Class A
                     Common Stock for purposes of determining beneficial
                     ownership.  See footnote (1) below.  Also indicated is
                     the percentage of Common Equity (as defined below)
                     owned by Ingram Thrift Plan as of such date.

(1)      Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act
         of 1934, as used in this table, "beneficial ownership" means the sole
         or shared power to vote or direct the voting or to dispose or direct
         the disposition of any security.  Ingram Thrift Plan is deemed as of
         any date to have "beneficial ownership" of any security that it has a
         right to acquire within 60 days after such date.  For purposes of
         calculating the ownership percentage of Ingram Thrift Plan, any
         securities that any person other than Ingram Thrift Plan has the
         right to acquire within 60 days of such date are not deemed to be
         outstanding.

(2)      "Common Equity" means the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common
         Stock.  Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time
         at the option of the holder into one share of Class A Common Stock.

(3)      All of such shares are shares of Class B Common Stock.  Ingram Thrift
         Plan has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all such
         shares.
