    <remarks>Represents the number of shares expected to be sold by the reporting person to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of RSUs. These sales are mandated by the Issuer's election under its equity incentive plans to require the satisfaction of a tax withholding obligation to be funded by a sell-to-cover transaction and do not represent discretionary trades by the reporting person.</remarks>
