(1)	On June 30, 2026, the Issuer granted to the Reporting Person deferred stock units of the Issuer ("DSUs") in the amount indicated. Since the DSUs are payable solely in common stock, they are being reported in Table I of this Form 4. The underlying shares will not be issued until the earlier of the Reporting Person's death or January 31st of the second calendar year following the Reporting Person's retirement from the Board of Directors of the Issuer.
(2)	The family partnership is a limited partnership that holds securities for the benefit of the Reporting Person and his adult children.

Rales Family Trust, of which the Reporting Person is trustee; and (iii) 3,355,765 shares contributed by a revocable trust of which the Reporting Person is the trustee.

(3)	The reported shares are held through custodial accounts for the benefit of the Reporting Person's daughters. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by his daughters, and this report should not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of his daughters' shares for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
