Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Director Deferred Compensation Plan"). Each Deferred Stock Unit is the economic equivalent of one share of common stock of the Issuer. The Deferred Stock Units become payable solely in common stock upon the reporting person's termination of service as a director or death or upon the effectiveness of a change of control of the Issuer.

On June 23, 2025, Merger Sub completed a tender offer (the "Offer") pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement for the outstanding shares of common stock of the Issuer for an offer price of $4.35 per share, without interest and subject to applicable tax withholding (the "Offer Price"). Thereafter, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer (the "Merger") pursuant to Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, with the Issuer being the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent.

(4) Represents shares of common stock tendered to Merger Sub pursuant to the Offer.

(6) Includes 55,338 Deferred Stock Units previously credited to the reporting person's account pursuant to the Director Deferred Compensation Plan. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, all of the Deferred Stock Units held by the reporting person were automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $4.35 per share, without interest and subject to applicable tax withholding.
