Buy Plan / Sale Plan: These are also open market purchases/sales of shares, but in this case the transaction is part of a trading plan. Rule 10b5-1 allows insiders to setup a trading plan to buy/sell stocks over a certain period of time. Since the purchases/sales are predetermined, this protects the insiders from violating insider trading law.

Transaction was made pursuant to a contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of equity securities of the issuer that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c).

On August 14, 2023, the Issuer's Compensation Committee certified that the reporting person had achieved the set corporate development goal as of May 9, 2023. One-third of the PSU (30,601 shares) was vested and delivered immediately upon certification of the goal achievement. The remaining two-thirds will vest annually on the anniversary of May 9, 2023 provided the reporting person remains in continuous service on each vesting date, subject to accelerated vesting in certain events, including certain terminations of the reporting person or upon certain changes of control of the issuer.
F2 The sales reported on this Form 4 were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the Reporting Person and represent shares required to be sold by the Reporting Person to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of the PSUs.
