Explanation of Responses:

(2) The sales reported in this Form 4 were effected to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of RSUs that were granted on March 20, 2023 pursuant to an automatic "sell to cover" provision under which the Reporting Person did not have discretion included in the RSU Agreement.
(3) The price reflects the average selling price of the common shares sold. These common shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $0.70 to $0.7825 per common share. The Reporting Person undertakes to provide, upon request by the SEC staff, the Issuer or a security holder of the Issuer, full information regarding the number of common shares sold at each price.
(4) Each RSU represents the right to receive one common share upon vesting.
(5) The RSUs were granted as part of the Issuer's long-term incentive plan and vest over a three year period as follows, subject to continued service through each vesting date: 1/3 on the first anniversary of March 20, 2023 (the "Grant Date"), 1/3 on the second anniversary of the Grant Date and 1/3 on the third anniversary of the Grant Date.
