Explanation of Responses:

Id Content
F1 On December 5, 2024, the Issuer announced that its board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.14 per share of its common stock, payable on December 31, 2024 to stockholders of record of the common stock at the close of business on December 16, 2024 (the "Dividend"). The amount acquired in column 4 represents equivalent rights accrued on restricted stock units with respect to the Issuer's common stock ("Original RSUs") held by the reporting person as a result of the Dividend. Each dividend equivalent right entitles the reporting person to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock upon the settlement of the Original RSUs and is subject to the same terms and conditions, including vesting and settlement, as the Original RSUs to which it relates. The grant of dividend equivalent rights was approved by the Issuer's board of directors pursuant to Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
F2 The total amount of securities beneficially owned following the reported transaction includes 118,762 shares of common stock of the Issuer that were previously reported as owned indirectly and held by the 2022 Alvin B. Krongard Grantor Retained Annuity Trust (the "GRAT") and which were transferred to the reporting person, individually, on October 11, 2024 upon the termination of the GRAT. The reporting person was the trustee and the sole annuitant of the GRAT.
F3 These shares are held in a trust for the benefit of the reporting person's children. The reporting person's spouse is trustee of the trust. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, and the filing of this report is not an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of these securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
