        <footnote id="F1">The new grant is for 16,873 shares of common stock represented by time-based restricted stock units (RSUs). These time-based RSUs will vest over a three-year period, with 5,568 units vesting on each of 3/25/24 and 2/18/25 and 5,737 units vesting on 2/17/26, subject to continued employment (subject to certain limited exceptions) by the Reporting Person on the vesting dates.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The new grant is for 25,310 shares of common stock represented by performance-based RSUs, which may be adjusted up or down at the time the performance targets are measured at the end of the three-year performance period. These performance-based RSUs may vest on 2/17/26 contingent on meeting predetermined performance measures and subject to continued employment (subject to certain limited exceptions) by the Reporting Person on the vesting date.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Due to evolving macroeconomic conditions impacting the process of setting the appropriate performance-based RSU targets, these grants were approved later than usual in the grant cycle.  However, for administrative convenience, the second and third years of the time-based RSUs and, if the performance targets are achieved, the three-year performance-based RSUs will vest on the Company's typical vesting schedule in mid-February of the applicable year.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">The total number of securities beneficially owned includes: (a) 19,280 unrestricted shares; (b) 8,009 unvested units from an award of 22,481 time-based restricted stock units granted 7/15/20; (c) 5,859 unvested units from an award of 17,234 time-based restricted stock units granted 2/16/21; (d) 10,340 unvested performance-based restricted stock units granted 2/16/21; (e) 4,479 unvested units from an award of 6,685 time-based restricted stock units granted 2/15/22; (f) 10,027 unvested performance-based restricted stock units granted 2/15/22; (g) the new grant for 16,873 time-based restricted stock units; and (h) the new grant for 25,310 performance-based restricted stock units.</footnote>
