        <footnote id="F1">On December 29, 2025, the Reporting Person filed a Form 4 which inadvertently reported that, following the grant of 6,368 Common Shares to the Reporting Person pursuant to the Issuer's 2018 Long-Term Equity Incentive Ownership Plan, the Reporting Person directly owned 39,478 Common Shares. In fact, as reported in this amendment, the Reporting Person directly owned 45,728 Common Shares. It should be noted that this information is duplicative of the information reported in the original Form 4 filed for the Reporting Person on December 29, 2025.</footnote>
