Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Represents shares of performance-based restricted stock that were previously reported as beneficially owned by the reporting person as of April 4, 2023, but were subsequently forfeited due to the Company only partially achieving the performance target with respect to such shares for fiscal 2025.
(2)	Not included in this amount are 4,252 performance stock units ("PSUs") that are eligible to vest from 0% to 150% following the end of 2027. Vesting for the award is subject to the Issuer's (as defined below) achievement of certain financial goals and certification by the Compensation Committee.
(3)	Represents shares that were withheld upon vesting of restricted stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations.
(4)	Represents an award of PSUs representing a contingent right to receive one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of Sonida Senior Living, Inc. (the "Issuer") per PSU, which is conditional upon the Issuer's stockholders approving an amendment to the 2019 Plan (as defined below) to increase the share reserve under the 2019 Plan and the closing of the Issuer's previously announced merger with CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc. Between 33% and 100% of the target number of PSUs granted, which were granted under the Sonida Senior Living, Inc. 2019 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2019 Plan"), are eligible to vest during a three-year period beginning on February 23, 2027 and ending on February 23, 2030 (the "Performance Period"), subject to a potential 30-day extension as set forth in the award agreement, based on the Issuer's Common Stock achieving specified prices per share during the Performance Period.
