| F2 | Reflects disposition in connection with the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, dated as of March 28, 2022, as amended on August 19, 2022 (the "Transaction Agreement"), by and among the Issuer, Neptune Intermediate Jersey Limited and Neptune Bidco US Inc. ("Purchaser"). On October 11, 2022, at the Effective Time (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), each share of common stock of the Issuer was acquired by the Purchaser in consideration of a payment of $28.00 in cash per share (the "Offer Consideration"), subject to required withholding taxes. |
| F3 | Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, at the Effective Time, each time-based restricted stock unit award ("RSU Award") and PRSU Award was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of common stock subject to such RSU Award or PRSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Offer Consideration. |
| F4 | Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, at the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase common stock of the Issuer, whether vested or unvested, was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of common stock subject to such option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Offer Consideration over the exercise price per share subject to such option as of the Effective Time. |
| F5 | These options were fully vested. |
| F6 | These options to purchase shares of common stock were subject to both performance and time vesting requirements.

The time vesting requirement would have been satisfied on March 11, 2025. |
