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.
