        <footnote id="F1">On February 28, 2022 the reporting person was granted 23,540 restricted share units (&quot;RSUs&quot;), vesting in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, and contingent upon the reporting person's continued service as the Interim President and Chief Executive Officer or, following the appointment of a new President and Chief Executive Officer, continued service as a member of the Board of Directors, through each applicable vesting date.  Each RSU represents a conditional right to receive a cash payment equal to the fair market value of one share of common stock of the Issuer (a &quot;Common Share&quot;) or, at the Issuer's discretion, a number of Common Shares (or a combination of cash and Common Shares) equal to the fair market value of one Common Share.</footnote>
