1. The transactions reported in this Form 4 have been reported after the reporting deadlines because the Reporting Person initially believed each of the transactions constituted a non-reportable pledge of Issuer securities. The Reporting Person has subsequently determined to report the transactions based on the terms of the arrangement. The nature of the transactions is currently the subject of a dispute in an arbitral proceeding. The reported price reflects the implied per-share value of shares transferred pursuant to an arrangement described as a non-recourse stock loan, in which the shares were transferred to the counterparty and the loan proceeds were limited to approximately 45% of the market value of the transferred shares, as determined under the terms of the arrangement, rather than a negotiated sale price. The shares of Issuer common stock were awarded to the Reporting Person pursuant to an amendment to the Issuer's non-employee director compensation plan in lieu of the quarterly cash retainer for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, with a fair market value equal to such retainer.
