Remarks:

The Amount of Securities Beneficially Owned Following the Reported Transaction (Table I, Column 5) in Mr. Thomas' most recent Form 4 (filed on September 25, 2025) was 2,534 common shares. When reporting delinquent transactions, the tally should be based on (i.e., should reflect adjustments to) the number of shares reported as beneficially owned in the insider's last filed report, and should not attempt to show the number of shares owned as of the date of each transaction being reported late (if different).
