Explanation of Responses:
(1) Represents the exempt acquisition of 12,820 restricted stock units that in general will vest in total on December 31, 2022, subject generally to the Reporting Person's continued service on the Issuer's Board of Directors.
(2) On August 26, 2022, the Issuer effected a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of its Common Stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"), resulting in a decrease in the Reporting Person's ownership by 225,690 shares.
(3) Represents the exempt acquisition of stock options to purchase 32,042 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $1.95. These stock options in general will vest on July 28, 2023, subject generally to the Reporting Person's continued service on the Issuer's Board of Directors.
(4) This option has been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split (in prior reports, this option was previously reported as covering a number of shares equal to this reported amount times 25 (and at an exercise price equal to this reported exercise price divided by 25)).
(5) Award of a nonqualified stock option. The option vests one-third on February 17, 2022 and thereafter ratably on a quarterly basis over a two-year period.
