In light of the performance-based vesting conditions of the award, such shares were not reportable under Section 16 until vesting was determined, which occurred on March 4, 2021. Each RSU represents the contingent right to receive one share of common stock of the Issuer. This sale was effected pursuant to a "sell to cover" arrangement adopted by the Reporting Person in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 on September 6, 2018 to satisfy the tax withholding obligations triggered by the vesting of RSUs, and does not represent a discretionary trade by the Reporting Person. /s/Darren DeStefano, Attorney-in-Fact 2021-03-08
