Explanation of Responses:

1. Representing 5,000 restricted share units granted under the Company's 2015 Equity Incentive Plan that have vested.

2. Representing 5,000 restricted share units granted under the Company's 2015 Equity Incentive Plan that will vest on December 31, 2023.

3. Representing an option to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock granted under the Company's 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which will vest on June 30 and December 31 of 2024 and 2025 in four equal installments.

4. On November 29, 2021, the reporting person was granted an option to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock. The option vests in 10 equal semi-annual installments based on the CBAT's satisfaction of certain performance criteria for each of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. The performance criteria for 2021 were met, resulting in vesting of the option as to 2,000 shares on May 30, 2022 and 2,000 shares on November 30, 2022. The performance criteria for 2022 were not met, and thus, no portion of the option was vested in 2023.
