Each performance right (PR) is a contingent right to receive one share of Issuer Common Stock. PRs vest upon satisfaction of a Service Condition (SC) and a Stock Price Performance Condition (SPPC). The SC is satisfied for sixteen dates (3/31/2022, 6/30/2022, 9/30/2022, 12/31/2022, 3/31/2023, 6/30/2023, 9/30/2023, 12/31/2023, 3/31/2024, 6/30/2024, 9/30/2024, 12/31/2024, 3/31/2025, 6/30/2025, 9/30/2025, and 12/31/2025) if the Issuer has continuously employed the reporting person through that SC date, and 12,500 PRs then will be eligible to vest if the SPPC also has been met. The SPPC requires the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Issuer's Common Stock as quoted on NASDAQ to be at least $1.94 measured over a 20 consecutive trading day period. Once the SPPC is met, PRs that remain unvested shall vest upon satisfaction of each future SC. On June 14, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Issuer certified that the SPPC applicable to these PRs had been satisfied. Accordingly, on June 30, 2023, the SC was satisfied with respect to June 30, 2023, resulting in the vesting of 12,500 PRs and the issuance of 12,500 shares of Common Stock, of which 3,650 shares of Common Stock were withheld by the Issuer for payment of applicable taxes owed due to the vesting of the 12,500 PRs as provided by a restricted share unit agreement between the Reporting Person and the Issuer. /s/ Pepe Emmett 2023-07-05
