( 2 )Grant of restricted shares pursuant to the Company's 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan. These restricted shares vest one-fifth on February 15, 2020 and one-fifth each on December 6, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. ( 3 )Grant of restricted shares pursuant to the Company's 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan. These restricted shares vest two-thirds on March 31, 2020 and one-third on March 31, 2021.

Remarks: The amount of Securities Beneficially Owned Following Reported Transaction in column 5 reflect transactions that were previously reported on Form 4 subsequent to the earliest transaction reported herein. Additionally, the Reporting Person's holdings were adjusted to reflect additional shares that were forfeited in connection with prior equity incentive awards. A prior report under Section 16 inadvertently omitted the forfeiture of an additional 32 restricted shares.

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