Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock without the payment of additional consideration. ( 2 )This amendment corrects the vesting date of 9,375 restricted stock units, which was July 31, 2020. The original Form 4, filed on August 4, 2020, reported this date in error. ( 3 )Withholding of common stock to satisfy reporting person's tax obligation upon the (i) restriction lapse of a restricted stock award or (ii) vesting of a restricted stock unit award.
