All of the shares reported as disposed of on this line were relinquished by the Reporting Person and cancelled by the Issuer in exchange for the Issuer's agreement to pay federal and state tax withholding obligations of the Reporting Person resulting from the vesting of the RSUs.

Remarks:

The Reporting Person is a party to a Stockholders Agreement that contains voting agreements and thus is a member of a Schedule 13D group that beneficially owns more than 10% of the issuer's common stock. The number of shares identified as beneficially owned by the Reporting Person excludes shares of Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned by her solely because of this Stockholders Agreement.
