| 1. Includes unvested restricted stock units. |
| 2. The Form 3 filed by the reporting person on September 25, 2026 inadvertently omitted 22,104 shares of common stock and 66,313 performance stock units held by the reporting person due to administrative error. |
| 3. Represents performance stock units, which are eligible to vest, if at all, based on the achievement of predetermined 20-trading-day average closing stock prices during a four-year performance period, subject to the reporting person's continued employment through the applicable vesting date. The performance stock units are divided into three tranches: 33% eligible to be earned upon a 20-trading-day average closing price of $24.18, 33% upon a 20-trading-day average closing price of $31.43, and 34% upon a 20-trading-day average closing price of $38.68. For each tranche, the vesting date is the later of the third anniversary of the grant date September 1, 2029, and the date the applicable stock price is attained. |
