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)	The security represents the satisfaction of the performance-based vesting condition with respect to previously issued performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") based on the Issuer's 2025 financial performance. Each PSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock. Under the terms of the PSUs, the degree of achievement of the PSUs was established upon certification of the achievement of the performance-based vesting criteria by the compensation committee of the board of directors based on the Issuer's 2025 financial results, and the number of shares reported reflects the extent of such achievement. The PSU remains subject to time-based vesting as follows: one third of the shares underlying the PSU shall vest on March 1, 2026, and the remaining shares underlying the PSU shall vest in eight equal quarterly installments beginning on June 1, 2026, subject to the Reporting Person's continuous service through each such vesting date.
(2)	The transaction reported represents the withholding of shares by the Issuer to satisfy the Reporting Person's tax withholding obligations in connection with the non-reportable vesting and settlement of restricted stock units.
(3)	The sale reported in this Form 4 was effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan previously adopted by the Reporting Person.
