See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D/A for the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and percentage of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons.

Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein that he or it does not directly own.

May 4, 2026 Starboard P LP entered into forward purchase contracts (the "Current Forward Contracts") with an unaffiliated third party financial institution as a counterparty. The Current Forward Contracts provide for the purchase of an aggregate of 1,330,114 shares of Common Stock and have a final valuation date of March 9, 2027. Starboard P LP has the ability to elect early settlement after serving notice to the counterparty of such intention at least two scheduled trading days in advance of the desired early final valuation date. Each of the Current Forward Contracts provides for physical settlement. Until the settlement date, none of the Current Forward Contracts give Starboard P LP voting or dispositive control over the shares of Common Stock to which such contracts relate. Starboard V&O Master Fund has entered into certain cash-settled total return swap agreements (the "Cash-Settled Return Swaps" or "Cash-Settled Total Return Swap Agreements") with an unaffiliated third party financial institution as a counterparty that constitute economic exposure to an aggregate of 1,237,449 shares of Common Stock, which have a maturity date of November 4, 2027. The Cash-Settled Total Return Swap Agreements provide Starboard V&O Fund with economic results that are comparable to the economic results of ownership but do not provide it with the power to vote or direct the voting or dispose of or direct the disposition of the shares of Common Stock that are the subject of such swaps. Starboard V&O Master Fund does not have the right to convert the foregoing swaps into shares of Common Stock at any time.
