Explanation of Responses:
1. On February 13, 2017, the reporting person was granted performance restricted stock units (PRSUs) covering 15,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock, which vest upon the satisfaction of certain performance criteria. On November 11, 2020, a portion of the PRSUs vested upon the Issuer's confirmation that the Issuer had completed a significant acquisition.
2. The sales reported in this Form 4 were made pursuant to a written plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and includes the sale of shares to cover the tax obligation that occurred upon the vesting of performance restricted stock units.
3. The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $23.36 to $23.96, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide to the Issuer, any security holder of the Issuer, or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the range set forth above.
