2. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the common stock of the issuer.

3. The sale of shares was effected in order to satisfy tax withholding and remittance obligations in connection with the vesting of RSUs pursuant to Rule 10b5-1.

4. The RSUs vested upon the determination of the issuer's Compensation Committee to vest the award, subject to trading restrictions on the underlying shares.

5. The option shares vest over four years. 25% of the option shares vested and became exercisable on January 7, 2020 and the remaining shares vest in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter.
