Explanation of Responses:
1. Represents shares withheld by the Issuer to satisfy a tax obligation realized by the Reporting Person upon the vesting and settlement of restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-vested restricted stock unit ("PSUs").
2. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock.
3. The RSUs will vest 25% over the first year, while the remaining will vest in twelve (12) equal quarterly installments over three years, with a vesting commencement date of August 10, 2024, in each case subject to the Reporting Person being a service provider through each such date. The RSUs are subject to accelerated vesting in the event of a termination of employment of the Reporting Person including under certain circumstances following a change in control of the Issuer.
4. The RSUs do not expire; they either vest or are canceled prior to vesting date.
5. The RSUs will vest quarterly over a four year period commencing May 10, 2025, with 40% vesting during year 1, 35% vesting during year 2, 15% vesting during year 3, and 10% vesting during year 4, in each case subject to the Reporting Person being a service provider through each such date.
