Explanation of Responses:

(*) If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 5(b)(v).
(**) Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Represents the Reporting Person's acquisition of an indirect pecuniary interest in restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted by the issuer to Mr. Yanagi in accordance with Rule 16b-3(d) (as described in transaction code "A") as compensation for serving as a member of the issuer's board of directors. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the issuer's common stock, and the RSUs will vest on the earlier of the issuer's 2025 annual meeting of stockholders or a change of control. Pursuant to a pre-existing contractual obligation, Mill Road Capital Management, LLC, an affiliate of the Reporting Person that does not have Section 13(d) beneficial ownership of any securities of the issuer, has the right to receive the economic benefit of the reported shares and, accordingly, Mr. Yanagi has no direct pecuniary interest in such shares. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, if any.
(2) The shares reported are directly held by Mill Road Capital II, L.P. (the "Fund"). Mr. Yanagi is a management committee director of Mill Road Capital II GP LLC, which is the sole general partner of the Fund and has sole authority to vote (or direct the vote of), and to dispose (or direct the disposal) of, these shares on behalf of the Fund. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, if any.
