        <footnote id="F1">This amendment is being filed to amend the information in Mr. Bonifas' original Form 4 filed on August 23, 2021, which mistakenly reported his purchase of common stock as securities disposed of, using a &quot;D&quot; designation, in column 4. This amendment now correctly reflects his purchase of common stock as securities acquired, using an &quot;A&quot; designation, in column 4.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Included in this total are 11,000 shares held in Mr. Bonifas' IRA; 152,901 shares held in Trust and 6,773 shares of restricted stock units in Mr. Bonifas' name.</footnote>
