Buy Plan / Sale Plan: These are also open market purchases/sales of shares, but in this case the transaction is part of a trading plan. Rule 10b5-1 allows insiders to setup a trading plan to buy/sell stocks over a certain period of time. Since the purchases/sales are predetermined, this protects the insiders from violating insider trading law.

Transaction was made pursuant to a contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of equity securities of the issuer that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c).

Explanation of Responses:

Remarks:

This Form 4/A is being filed to report the vesting of certainly previously reported Restricted Share Units which was inadvertently omitted in the Form 4 filed on May 3, 2023. The aggregate total in column 5 of Table I hereof reflects the total aggregate holdings after accounting for the sales reported in the Form 4 filed on May 3, 2023.
