Explanation of Responses:
(1)	These performance share units ("PSUs") were granted on March 19, 2018 but were conditional upon the Issuer meeting certain growth performance goals for the 2018 calendar year. On January 14, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Issuer's Board of Directors confirmed that the Issuer met the performance goals for the 2018 calendar year. Each PSU represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock upon vesting. The PSUs are scheduled to vest as follows, subject to continued employment by the reporting person through the applicable vesting date: (a) two-thirds vested on January 1, 2019, (b) one-sixth vested on January 1, 2020, and (c) one-sixth vested on January 1, 2021.
(2)	These PSUs were scheduled to vest on January 1, 2021, but since that date fell on a holiday, they vested the next business day, or January 4, 2021. These PSUs were settled in shares of Common Stock using the January 4, 2021 closing price of the Common Stock.
(3)	These shares of Common Stock were withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligation in connection with the settlement of vested PSUs into shares of Common Stock.
