2. The withholding of shares to cover taxes on the vesting was calculated on the Company's closing stock price on February 16, 2024.
3. Represents 11,750 owned in a joint account with Reporting Person's spouse.
4. Each PRSU represents the right to receive, following vesting, between 0% and 200% of one share of the Company's common stock.
