Explanation of Responses:

Remarks:

Reflects two grants of restricted stock units, each of which vest in two annual installments on the first and second anniversaries of the date of grant. All restricted stock units are settled in stock (except for fractional units, which are settled in cash). The shares to settle the vested portion of these grants were issued to the director on October 1, 2025. A Form 4 should have been filed at the time of each grant of units rather than at the time of settlement. This late filing is not due to any error of the reporting person.
