Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )On October 12, 2018, Reporting Person placed a purchase order for shares of Issuer's common stock with his financial advisor and then cancelled that order in a second conversation that immediately followed. From that conversation, Reporting Person understood that the purchase order was being cancelled, but the order was instead filled and an offsetting sale order was placed that same day. The financial advisor did not inform Reporting Person that the initial purchase order had not been cancelled and that two offsetting transactions had occurred. Reporting Person became aware of the reportable transactions only upon receipt of brokerage confirmations. As a result, the filing of this Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership was delayed. ( 2 )No transactions to report related to this indirect ownership of 3,500 shares. ( 3 )No transactions to report related to this indirect ownership of 22,500 shares. ( 4 )No transactions to report related to this direct ownership of 12,000 shares.

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