Additional SEC filing notes

Filing notes and footnotes

Explanation of responses 5 footnotes

Footnote F1

Restricted stock units that convert into shares of the Issuer's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), on a one-for-one basis. One-third of the restricted stock units vests on each of April 30, 2027, April 30, 2028 and April 30, 2029.

Footnote F2

Shares disposed to pay applicable withholding taxes on Restricted Stock Units converted into Common Stock on May 1, 2026.

Footnote F3

Reflects the settlement of cash-settled restricted stock units that vested on May 1, 2026.

Footnote 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.

Footnote F5

Each cash-settled restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive cash in an amount equal to the value of one share of Common Stock on the applicable vesting date. One-third of the cash-settled restricted stock units vests on each of April 30, 2027, April 30, 2028 and April 30, 2029.
