        <footnote id="F1">Represents a grant of restricted stock units (&quot;RSUs&quot;). The RSUs vest in three equal installments beginning February 14, 2026. Upon vesting of the RSUs, the reporting person receives shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Includes 131,914 unvested RSUs.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Represents a grant of performance restricted stock units (&quot;PRSUs&quot;). These PRSUs, or a portion thereof, may become earned based on the Company's achievement of certain performance conditions over a performance period commencing on September 16, 2024 and ending on December 31, 2028. The PRSUs may be incrementally earned upon achievement of the following hurdle levels: 33.33%, 33.33% and 33.34% of the total number of PRSUs can be earned on each date that the Company's shares achieve a volume weighted average price of $30.00, $40.00, and $50.00, respectively, for a consecutive 20-trading day period.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">Notwithstanding the date of achievement of the stock price hurdles during the performance period, the PRSUs subject to the first, second and third stock price hurdles may not vest until the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date, respectively, which requires continued service through such date. Upon vesting of the PRSUs, the reporting person receives shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis.</footnote>
