        <footnote id="F1">On October 21, 2021, the Reporting Person was awarded 48,843 Performance-based Restricted Stock Units (&quot;PSUs&quot;), which are subject to both performance- and time-based vesting conditions. The Reporting Person may earn from 0% to 150% of these PSUs based on the achievement of pre-established performance goals based 50% upon absolute total shareholder return (&quot;TSR&quot;) and 50% on a relative TSR over a five-year performance and service period. Shares of the Issuer's common stock underlying any earned PSUs will vest and be delivered on or about the fifth anniversary of grant, subject to other terms and conditions of the award agreement. The shares of common stock delivered pursuant to these PSUs will be subject to transfer restrictions for one additional year after delivery.</footnote>
