        <footnote id="F1">Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Issuer's common stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The reporting person elected to defer the receipt of common stock until the termination of her service as a member of the Issuer's Board of Directors.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">As previously reported, on 05/05/23, the reporting person was granted 17,010 restricted stock units (&quot;RSUs&quot;), all of which cliff vested on 04/10/24, the date of Issuer's 2024 Annual Stockholders Meeting.
