restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial

"Represents an award of restricted stock units ("RSUs"). Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Common Stock."

Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.

Explanation of Responses:

1. Represents an award of restricted stock units ("RSUs"). Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Common Stock. The RSUs will vest in three equal annual installments on the date of grant, March 10, 2027, and March 10, 2028, subject to the Reporting Person's continuous service through such dates.

2. Represents the withholding of shares by the Issuer to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of RSUs. No shares were sold in the market as a result of the vesting of these RSUs and the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations.

Remarks:

This Form 4/A amends the original Form 4 filed by the Reporting Person on March 12, 2026 (the "Original Filing"), which inadvertently omitted the Issuer's withholding of shares of Common Stock to satisfy the tax withholding obligation resulting from the vesting of RSUs awarded to the Reporting Person. This Form 4/A also corrects the amount of securities beneficially owned following the award of RSUs reported therein, as the amount shown in the Original Filing inadvertently did not take into account the Issuer's previous withholding of shares to satisfy tax obligations resulting from a vesting of RSUs.
