        <footnote id="F1">Acquired pursuant to the Issuer's 2015 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan.  Subject to certain exceptions, such restricted stock/units will vest subject to (i) the passage of a specified period of time and (ii) the reporting person's continued performance of services for the Issuer.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The number of restricted stock/units included in Column 5 of Table 1 was adjusted in connection with the spin-off and subsequent merger of the Issuer's animal health business on February 7, 2019 (the &quot;Spin-Off&quot;). The adjustment reflects the product of (i) the number of restricted stock/unit awards immediately prior to the Spin-Off and (ii) a ratio equal to a fraction, with the numerator equal to the average of the high and low pre-Spin-Off trading prices of the Issuer's common stock on February 6, 2019 (the &quot;Issuer Pre-Spin-Off Price&quot;) and the denominator equal to the difference between (A) the Issuer Pre-Spin-Off Price and (B) the product of (x) 0.4 and (y) the average of the high and low trading prices of the common stock of Covetrus, Inc. (the combined company resulting from the Spin-Off) on February 8, 2019, the trading day immediately following the distribution date of the Spin-Off.</footnote>
