Explanation of Responses:

1. Starboard Value LP ("Starboard") serves as the investment manager or manager of certain managed accounts and private investment funds (collectively, the "Starboard Accounts"), which hold the securities reported herein and as such may be deemed to beneficially own such securities. The Reporting Person, as a Managing Member of Starboard, may be deemed to beneficially own the securities directly held by the Starboard Accounts for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

2. Pursuant to the terms of the Articles of Amendment setting forth the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Senior Preferred Shares, without par value (the "Series A Preferred Shares"), holders of the Series A Preferred Shares have the right to convert their Series A Preferred Shares any time or times on or after February 1, 2023, into a number of Common Shares, without par value (the "Common Shares") equal to the face amount of such Series A Preferred Shares multiplied by the then-applicable conversion rate (the "Conversion Rate"). The Conversion Rate is initially 0.0136986 Common Shares per $1.00 face amount of Series A Preferred Shares, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment provisions. The Series A Preferred Shares have no stated maturity.
