Explanation of Responses:

1. On January 24, 2023, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated November 1, 2022, by and among the Issuer, Voya Financial, Inc. ("Voya") and Origami Squirrel Acquisition Corp. (the "Merger Sub"), as amended, the Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer (the "Merger"), with the Issuer surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Voya. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger each share of the Issuer's common stock was exchanged for the Per Share Common Stock Merger Consideration of $10.50, without interest.

2. On January 24, 2023, the Merger took effect and these equity awards for the Issuer's common stock were exchanged for equity awards of Voya common stock in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

3. Shares earned upon the vesting of a percentage of performance restricted stock units ("PRSUs") granted to the Reporting Person on April 1, 2022.
