Explanation of Responses:
(1) Includes a time-based restricted stock award of which 3,802 shares will vest on July 15, 2022 and 3,802 shares will vest on July 15, 2023 in each case contingent on the Reporting Person's continued service as a Director on each applicable vesting date.
(2) Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents a contingent right once vested and as soon as practicable after the Reporting Person no longer serves as director to receive one share of Issuer's common stock, if the shareholders approve such issuance, or cash equal to the number of vested RSUs multiplied by the closing price of the common stock on the day the Reporting Person ceases to serve as director of the Company. Such RSUs were granted upon conversion of the Reporting Person's Board of Director compensation in fiscal year 2021 into RSUs.
(3) 35,268 RSUs vested and became non-forfeitable immediately, and, unless there is an earlier change of control of the Company or death or disability of the Reporting Person, upon which all unvested RSUs become fully vested and non-forfeitable, 1,786 will vest and become non-forfeitable on August 12, 2022, 1,786 will vest and become non-forfeitable on August 12, 2023 and 1,785 will vest and become non-forfeitable on August 12, 2024. Unvested RSUs will be forfeited if the Reporting Person's service as director terminates for any reason other than his death or disability or a change in control of the Company.
