Id Content
F1 The Reporting Person was granted Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") which represent a contingent right to receive one (1) share of Common Stock for each RSU. The shares were issued pursuant to vested RSUs released on December 30, 2021.
F2 The sales reported on this Form 4 represent shares required to be sold by the Reporting Person to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the previously reported vesting and settlement of RSUs. These sales are mandated by the Reporting Person's award agreement to require the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations to be funded by a "sell to cover" transaction and do not represent discretionary trades by the Reporting Person.
F3 The Reporting Person was granted RSUs which represent a contingent right to receive one (1) share of Common Stock for each RSU. The RSU shall vest with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the RSUs when the Reporting Person remains in continuous service through the one-year anniversary of October 30, 2020 and with respect to six-and-one-quarter percent (6.25%) of the RSUs when the Reporting Person completes each three (3) months of continuous service thereafter.
