Note (1) - As of July 31, 2020, the Company could not determine that achievement of the applicable performance-based criteria is probable for the agreements entered into on November 1, 2018 and November 1, 2019, due to the uncertainties discussed above, and therefore recorded no compensation expense related to those agreements.
