| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. Represents performance stock units granted on Feb. 22, 2023. One hundred percent (100%) were issued on Feb. 23, 2024. |
| 2. These shares were sold upon the vesting of performance stock units to pay tax withholding obligations. The sale was to satisfy tax withholding obligations to be funded by a "sell to cover" transaction and does not represent a discretionary transaction. This amendment is being filed to address an administrative error in reporting the number of shares sold in the sell to cover transaction on February 26, 2024. The original Form 4 reported that 1,186 shares were sold, when in fact, 1,168 shares were sold. |
| 3. As a result of the administrative error in reporting the number of shares sold in the sell to cover transactions on February 26, 2024, the number of shares reported as beneficially owned in this amendment reflects an increase in the number of shares reported as beneficially owned in the original Form 4. |
| 4. Represents performance stock units granted on Feb. 22, 2023. Fifty percent (50%) were issued on Feb. 23, 2024. The remaining shares earned in connection with the Feb. 2023 grant will be eligible to vest and be issued as follows: 25% on 02/22/2025; and 25% on 02/22/2026, assuming employment on the relevant vesting date. |
| 5. These shares were sold upon the vesting of performance stock units to pay tax withholding obligations. The sale was to satisfy tax withholding obligations to be funded by a "sell to cover" transaction and does not represent a discretionary transaction. This amendment is being filed to address an administrative error in reporting the number of shares sold in the sell to cover transaction on February 26, 2024. The original Form 4 reported that 980 shares were sold, when in fact, 966 shares were sold. |
