Explanation of Responses:

Id Content
F1 Represents 120,795 shares of common stock issued on settlement of Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") on September 6, 2022, and 241,591 RSUs subject to service-based vesting.
F2 Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the issuer's common stock upon settlement.
F3 Includes 120,795 shares of common stock issued on settlement of RSUs on September 6, 2022; 241,591 RSUs previously reported in Table II that remain subject to service-based vesting requirements described in note 4 below; and 38,090 RSUs previously reported on Table I subject to service-based vesting requirements.
F4 The RSUs are subject to both a service-based vesting condition and liquidity-based vesting condition. The liquidity-based vesting condition was waived by the Board for these RSUs on September 6, 2022. One-third of the RSUs satisfied the service-based vesting condition on August 22, 2022 and were settled for 120,795 shares of common stock on September 6, 2022, and the remaining two-thirds of the RSUs vest in eight substantially equal quarterly installments on each November 22nd, March 1st, May 22nd and August 22nd thereafter. As a result of the waiver of the liquidity-based vesting condition, the reporting person has elected to report the remaining unvested RSUs on Table I consistent with other service-based vesting RSU reporting.
