The shares vest on June 30, 2025, and vesting is subject to the Reporting Person's continuous employment with the Company or serving on the Issuer's board of directors through June 30, 2025. If the Reporting Person's employment is terminated by the Company without cause then the shares of restricted stock will continue to vest on June 30, 2025, notwithstanding the fact that the Reporting Person is no longer an employee of the Issuer. If the Reporting Person's employment is terminated for cause, then any unvested shares will be forfeited.</footnote>
