Explanation of Responses:
1. Shares withheld by the Issuer for payment of applicable taxes owed due to the vesting of 31,042 restricted share units pursuant to two restricted share unit agreements between the Reporting Person and the Issuer.
2. Each performance right (PR) is a contingent right to receive one share of Issuer Common Stock. PRs vest upon satisfaction of a Service Condition (SC) and a Stock Price Performance Condition (SPPC). The SC is satisfied for sixteen dates (3/31/2022, 6/30/2022, 9/30/2022, 12/31/2022, 3/31/2023, 6/30/2023, 9/30/2023, 12/31/2023, 3/31/2024, 6/30/2024, 9/30/2024, 12//31/2024, 3/31/2025, 6/30/2025, 9/30/2025, and 12/31/2025) if the Issuer has continuously employed the reporting person through that SC date, and 12,500 PRs then will be eligible to vest if the SPPC also has been met. The SPPC requires the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Issuer's Common Stock as quoted on NASDAQ to be at least $1.94 measured over a 20 consecutive trading day period. If the SPPC has not yet been met, then PRs eligible to vest due to satisfaction of a SC shall aggregate and vest upon later satisfaction of the SPPC. Once the SPPC is met, PRs that remain unvested shall vest upon satisfaction of each future S
3. On June 14, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Issuer certified that the SPPC applicable to these PRs had been satisfied. Accordingly, on June 30, 2022, the SC was satisfied with respect to 3/31/2022 and 6/30/2022, resulting in the vesting of 25,000 PRs and the issuance of 25,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 7,526 shares of Common Stock were withheld by the Issuer for payment of applicable taxes owed due to the vesting of the 25,000 PRs as provided by a restricted share unit agreement between the Reporting Person and the Issuer.
