Explanation of Responses:

1. Each non-management director is annually granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") as of the first business day in January. The grant is based on a value on the date of grant of $230,000, with the number of RSUs calculated based on the closing stock price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The RSUs immediately vest; however, the director cannot convert any of the RSUs to Company common stock - based on a 1 on 1 conversion - until the earlier of the last day of the month in which the three-year anniversary of the date of the award occurs unless deferred by the director or the date on which the director incurs a separation from service. For a newly appointed director, the RSU grant is prorated to the number of remaining days in the calendar year. After any quarter in which dividends are distributed to shareholders, the director receives additional RSU equivalents.

2. Reporting Person was appointed to the Company's Board of Directors on 02/10/2026. He was granted 919 RSUs as of 02/10/2026 ("Date of Grant"), based on the closing stock price of $223.07 as of the Date of Grant, and pursuant to the Company's 2021 Stock Incentive Plan. The RSUs are scheduled to convert to shares of the Company's common stock on 02/28/2029.
