The restricted stock units vest in three equal annual installments beginning one year after the date of grant.
2. Represents shares disposed to cover taxes upon the vesting of a deferred stock award granted to the Reporting Person on March 15, 2022.

The withholding of shares to cover tax withholding obligations is mandated by the terms of the Issuer's MSPP and does not represent a discretionary transaction by the Reporting Person.
