Explanation of Responses:

The RSUs shall vest in four equal installments on January 16, 2024, April 1, 2024, July 1, 2024 and October 1, 2024, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service to the Issuer through each vesting date.

2. Reflects a grant of RSUs made to the Reporting Person under the Plan. The number of RSUs granted is equal to $13,520 divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the grant date, which was January 16, 2024. The RSUs vested in full on January 16, 2024.

3. Includes (i) 5,620 RSUs granted to the Reporting Person on January 16, 2024 under the Plan, which are subject to vesting as reported above, and (ii) 158,332 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of vested options issued to the Reporting Person under the Plan.
