        <footnote id="F1">The purpose of this Amendment is to correct the number of Stock Units accrued to the Reporting Person under the Company's Directors' Fees Deferral Plan in lieu of a portion of the Reporting Person's Director Fees, the price for each of those accrued Stock Units, and the total number of Stock Units beneficially owned by the Reporting Person on 09/30/2022.  On the Form 4 filed on 09/30/2022, the number of Stock Units accrued to the Reporting Person was incorrectly reported as 15,186.916, the price for each of those accrued Stock Units was incorrectly reported as $2.14, and the total number of Stock Units beneficially owned by the Reporting Person was incorrectly reported as 25,591.578.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The Stock Units were accrued under the Company's Directors' Fees Deferral Plan in lieu of a portion of the Reporting Person's Director Fees and are settled 100% in the Company's common stock on the last business day of the calendar quarter following cessation as a director or upon a date specified by the Reporting Person.</footnote>
