Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )On August 21, 2020, the Issuer announced that an authorized committee of the Issuer's board of directors declared a special dividend on each outstanding share of its common stock payable on September 14, 2020 to all holders of record as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 31, 2020 consisting of (i) a special cash dividend in the amount of $1.50 per common share and (ii) a special dividend of 0.03 shares of newly issued 8.0% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares"), having an initial liquidation price of $100 per Preferred Share (the "Dividend"). As a result of the Dividend, the reporting person directly received 239 Preferred Shares. The receipt of Preferred Shares in the Dividend was approved by the Issuer's board of directors pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule 16b-3").
( 2 )Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents a contingent right to receive one Preferred Share.
( 3 )In connection with the Dividend, all RSUs with respect to the Issuer's common stock ("Original RSUs") were adjusted pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the incentive plans under which RSU awards held by the reporting person were granted. Each holder of an Original RSU was entitled to receive an RSU with respect to a number of Preferred Shares equal to 0.03 multiplied by the number of shares of common stock underlying the Original RSU, subject to the same terms and conditions as the Original RSU. These adjustments were approved by the Issuer's board of directors pursuant to Rule 16b-3.
( 4 )Each RSU vests upon the reporting person's termination of service to the Issuer's board of directors.
( 5 )Each RSU expires upon the reporting person's termination of service to the Issuer's board of directors.
( 6 )Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one Preferred Share.
( 7 )The dividend equivalent rights accrued on Original RSUs (as defined above) held by the reporting person as a result of the Cash Dividend and are subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting and expiration) as the Original RSUs to which they relate. Each dividend equivalent right entitles the reporting person to receive one share of the Issuer's Series A common stock. The grant of dividend equivalent rights was approved by the Issuer's board of directors pursuant to Rule 16b-3.
( 8 )Each dividend equivalent right vests upon the reporting person's termination of service to the Issuer's board of directors.
( 9 )Each dividend equivalent right expires upon the reporting person's termination of service to the Issuer's board of directors.
