        <footnote id="F1">Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 13, 2026 (as it has been or may be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified in accordance with its terms, the Merger Agreement), by and among the Issuer, A-AV Holdco I, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and A-AV MergerSub, Inc. (Parent), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, each share of the Issuer's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (the Merger), which occurred on July 27, 2026, was converted into and exchanged for the right to receive $25.00 per share in cash, without interest (the Merger Consideration), payable in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">These shares are held in trusts for the benefit of certain immediate family members of the Reporting Person. The Reporting Person is co-trustee of such trusts. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest, and the filing of this report is not an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of these shares for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Represents restricted share units issued to the Reporting Person on May 8, 2026. Each restricted share unit represents a contingent right to receive a cash payment equal to the value of one share of the Issuer's common stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, these cash-settled restricted share units were canceled immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash determined by multiplying: (i) the Merger Consideration by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the restricted share unit award (less applicable tax withholdings).</footnote>
