Explanation of Responses:

Id Content
F1 Reflects the settlement of restricted stock units that, as previously reported, fully vested on September 1, 2023.
F2 Shares disposed to pay applicable withholding taxes on restricted stock units converted into common stock on September 28, 2023.
F3 Reflects the settlement of cash-settled restricted stock units that, as previously reported, fully vested on September 1, 2023.
F4 No shares were actually issued, disposed or sold. Under applicable SEC guidance, cash settlement of restricted stock units is deemed to involve the conversion of the cash-settled restricted stock units into the underlying common stock and the simultaneous disposition of the common stock to the Company for cash. Accordingly, Table 1 uses Transaction Code D to report the cash-settled restricted stock unit settlement.
