Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )These performance share units ("PSUs") were granted on March 8, 2019, but were conditional upon the Issuer meeting certain growth performance goals for the 2019 calendar year. On January 13, 2020, the Chief Financial Officer certified that the Issuer met the performance goals for the 2019 calendar year, which the Compensation Committee of the Issuer's Board of Directors had confirmed. Each PSU represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock upon vesting. The PSUs are scheduled to vest as follows, subject to continued employment by the reporting person through the applicable vesting date: (a) 17,000 PSUs vested on March 1, 2020, (b) 17,000 PSUs vested on March 1, 2021, and (c) 16,000 PSUs vested on March 1, 2022. ( 2 )These shares of Common Stock were withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligation in connection with the settlement of vested PSUs into shares of Common Stock.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
