        <footnote id="F1">As reported on the Form 4 filed on January 4, 2023, 11,805 restricted stock units vested on January 3, 2023. The issuer withheld 4,210 shares to cover federal and state withholding due in connection with this vest. However, the issuer inadvertently miscalculated the withholding amount due and as a result, did not withhold a sufficient number of shares. To rectify this, on April 14, 2023, the reporting person relinquished 1,769 shares to the issuer to cover the remaining withholding amount. No shares were sold by the reporting person.</footnote>
