| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock upon vesting. |
| 2. The RSUs were granted on October 2, 2026 under the Issuer's 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan"), as an annual RSU award to non-employee directors. One hundred percent (100%) of the RSUs will vest on the earlier of October 2, 2027 or the date of the Issuer's next annual meeting of stockholders following the grant date, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service as a non-employee director through the vesting date. Vested RSUs will be settled in shares of common stock. RSUs do not expire. |
| 3. Represents a special RSU award granted to the Reporting Person on October 2, 2026 under the Plan in connection with the suspension of cash retainers for the period of July 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. One-half of the RSUs vested on the grant date, and the remaining RSUs will vest on January 1, 2027, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service as a director through the vesting date. All unvested RSUs will vest in full immediately prior to a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), subject to the Reporting Person's continued service as a director through such date. |
| 4. Represents a nonqualified stock option granted to the Reporting Person on October 2, 2026 under the Plan in connection with the Reporting Person's additional responsibilities as Chair of the Board. One-twelfth of the shares subject to the option vest on each monthly anniversary of July 1, 2026, such that 3/12ths of the shares subject to the option were vested on the grant date and the option will be fully vested on July 1, 2027, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service as a director through each vesting date. |
