Explanation of Responses:

1. This transaction represents the issuance of shares of common stock of the Issuer on January 7, 2022 in settlement of dividend equivalent rights that accrued on January 7, 2022 on restricted stock units that became vested on January 4, 2022. The fractional portion was paid out in cash in accordance with the award agreement.

2. These shares were withheld by the Issuer to satisfy the tax withholding obligations of the reporting person with respect to the settlement on January 7, 2022 of shares of common stock of the Issuer issued with respect to dividend equivalent rights held by the reporting person.

3. As previously reported, the reporting person was granted 53,805 restricted stock units on January 4, 2021 that vested as to one half on January 4, 2022 and will vest as to one half on January 4, 2023. On January 7, 2021, dividend equivalent rights accrued on the previously reported restricted stock units and vest proportionately with the restricted stock units to which they relate. Each dividend equivalent right is the economic equivalent of the dividend paid on one share of common stock, and is converted into additional restricted stock units of equal value.
