No. 6, Mr. Kiper has been awarded certain restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in connection with his service as a director of
the Issuer, including (i) 5,906 RSUs awarded on January 9, 2023 which vest on the first anniversary of the grant date and will be automatically
settled in shares of common stock and (ii) 3,981 RSUs awarded on February 1, 2023 that vest on the first anniversary of the grant date

the first anniversary of the grant date or the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (provided such date is no less than 50

Because Mr. Kiper serves
on the Board as a representative of Legion Partners Asset Management and the Reporting Persons, he does not have a right to any economic
interest in securities of the Issuer granted to him by the Issuer in respect of his Board position. As a result, when the Issuer delivered
such RSUs to Mr. Kiper, Legion Partners Asset Management was entitled to receive all of the economic interests in securities granted to
Mr. Kiper by the Issuer in respect of Mr. Kiper’s Board position, for no consideration.
