There were no B shares purchased in the first quarter.

Average price paid in March was the highest of the three individual months.

Average price paid for A shares in March was 623,205.69, so that's both most recent and highest.

In months that they have purchased both A and B shares, the typical ratio recently has been 1540:1 between the average prices paid.
(i.e., they seem willing to pay a premium of around 2.66%)

So, one might infer that management currently feels that they would be happy buying B shares at about 623,205.69/1540 = $404.70 per B.
