Upon the closing of the IPO, the time-based vesting requirement will be satisfied with respect to 406 shares. The remaining shares will satisfy the time-based vesting requirement in equal quarterly

    <remarks>The reporting person is the trustee of the SMIK Grantor Retained Annuity Trust (the &quot;Trust&quot;), a 10% owner of the Issuer, and has sole voting and dispositive power over the securities held by the Trust. The reporting person, however, is not a beneficiary of the Trust and does not have a pecuniary interest in the securities held by the Trust. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities held by the Trust, except to the extent, if any, of his pecuniary interest therein, and the filing of this Form 3 is not an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of the securities held by the Trust for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
