Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )In connection with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 4, 2024 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Issuer, Verizon Communications Inc. ("Parent"), France Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), in accordance with the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving such merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent upon the consummation of the merger on January 20, 2026 (the "Effective Time"). ( 2 )At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of Issuer common stock ("Share") was automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $38.50 per share, without interest. ( 3 )Represents the time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") previously granted on March 13, 2023 and March 13, 2024, as well as a prorated portion of the RSUs granted on March 12, 2025 ("2025 RSUs"), which at the Effective Time were vested and canceled and the holder thereof became entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the number of Shares underlying such award multiplied by $38.50. ( 4 )Represents the remaining portion of 2025 RSUs which, at the Effective Time, was converted into a number of unvested restricted stock units of Parent ("Parent RSUs") equal to the number of such RSUs multiplied by an exchange ratio equal to (38.5/39.7141), which was obtained by dividing the Merger Consideration by the five day volume weighted average price of Parent common stock ending with the second complete trading day immediately prior to the Effective Date (the "Exchange Ratio"). The Parent RSUs are subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to the RSUs prior to the Effective Time. ( 5 )Represents the performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") previously granted in respect of the 2024-2026 performance period, as well as a prorated portion of the PSUs previously granted in respect of the 2025-2027 performance period ("2025-2027 PSUs"), which at the Effective Time were vested and canceled and the holder thereof became entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the number of Shares underlying such award multiplied by $38.50, based on attainment of all applicable performance goals at the actual level of performance measured at the Effective Time. ( 6 )Represents the remaining portion of 2025-2027 PSUs which, at the Effective Time, was converted into a number of Parent RSUs equal to the number of such PSUs, based on attainment of all applicable performance goals at the actual level of performance measured at the Effective Time, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio. The Parent RSUs are subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to the PSUs (excluding performance-based vesting conditions) prior to the Effective Time.
