        <footnote id="F1">758 shares were withheld @ $23.40 per share to cover tax liability on restricted stock vesting.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The original Form 4, filed on 8/23/2021, is being amended to correct an administrative error which misreported the total amount of restricted stock beneficially owned following the reported transaction. The error was not the result of the transaction amount being incorrectly reported, therefore no changes were made to the transaction amount.</footnote>
