Explanation of Responses:
1. On August 30, 2022, the Reporting Person contributed 72,066 shares of the Issuer's common stock to a charitable trust. Neither the Reporting Person nor any member of the Reporting Person's family is a trustee of the trust, nor do they have control over the trust's investment decisions. This Form 4 is deemed to amend the Forms 4 filed on and after August 30, 2022 and prior to the date of this Form 4 with respect to the amount of securities reported as directly beneficially owned by the Reporting Person to subtract these transferred shares. The amount of securities reported as beneficially owned in this Form 4 reflects the amount beneficially owned by the Reporting Person as of the date of this Form 4.
2. On February 21, 2024, the Reporting Person's 2021 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust (the "2021 GRAT") terminated, and 9,769 shares of the Issuer's common stock were transferred to the 2021 GRAT's remainderman. The shares of the Issuer's common stock distributed to the Reporting Person by the 2021 GRAT were contributed by the Reporting Person to subsequent grantor retained annuity trusts of the Reporting Person and continue to be reported in this Form 4 as indirectly owned by the Reporting Person.
