Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(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) These options were granted on December 9, 2024. These options shall vest in three equal tranches on each of December 9, 2025, December 9, 2026 and December 9, 2027.
(2) Each restricted stock unit ("RSUs") represents a contingent right to receive one share of the issuer's common stock, an equivalent amount of cash, or a combination thereof upon vesting.
(3) These RSUs will vest on December 9, 2027.
(4) On September 11, 2023, the reporting person was granted a total of 32,221 RSUs, which vest on November 30, 2025. Such RSUs were previously reported in Table I of Form 4 by the reporting person. See Remarks below for additional information.
(5) On January 15, 2024, the reporting person was granted a total of 19,219 RSUs, which vest on December 31, 2026. Such RSUs were previously reported in Table I of Form 4 by the reporting person. See Remarks below for additional information.

Remarks:
Effective December 9, 2024, the issuer and the reporting person executed an amendment to the RSUs previously granted to the reporting person whereby the reporting person's outstanding RSUs may, in addition to being settled in shares of the issuer common stock, be settled in an equivalent amount of cash, or a combination of cash and shares. Accordingly, beginning with this Form 4, the reporting person's outstanding RSUs that were previously reported in Table I of Form 4 as common stock equivalents are now reported in Table II of Form 4 as derivative securities.
Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure. Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
