Explanation of Responses:
1. On August 5, 2024, the Issuer granted to the Reporting Person restricted stock units ("Annual Grant RSUs") of the Issuer in the amount indicated as an annual equity grant made to the Reporting Person. Since the Annual Grant RSUs are payable solely in common stock, they are being reported in Table I of this Form 4. The Annual Grant RSUs vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, but the underlying shares will not be issued until the earlier of the Reporting Person's death or the first day of the seventh month following the Reporting Person's retirement from the Board of Directors of the Issuer.
2. The reported shares are held through a single-member LLC, of which a revocable trust with the Reporting Person as the sole trustee and beneficiary is the sole member.
3. The reported shares are held through custodial accounts for the benefit of the Reporting Person's daughter. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by his daughter, and this report should not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of his daughter's shares for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
4. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. Neither this filing nor anything contained herein shall be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of these securities for purposes of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise.
5. The reporting person is a trustee of the Mitchell P. Rales Family Trust.
