The PSUs were originally granted on March 1, 2023 and were subject to performance-based vesting over a three-year performance period ending February 27, 2026, based on (i) relative and absolute Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") metrics and (ii) cumulative adjusted EBITDA performance.

The number of shares reported reflects the PSUs earned based on such certified performance results.

3. Represents the number of shares of common stock withheld by the Company to satisfy tax withholding requirements in connection with the PSUs vesting.
