Explanation of Responses:

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 October 12, 2022.
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 Represents RSUs that vest in installments, with twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares vesting on March 15, 2022, and six-and-one-quarter percent (6.25%) of the shares vesting quarterly thereafter, subject to the Reporting Person's continuous service with the Issuer.
