### Footnotes:

(1) Cruiser Capital serves as the management company or investment adviser to, and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over the shares of Common Stock held by, various investment funds (the "Cruiser Funds") and separately managed accounts (the "Cruiser SMAs," together with the Cruiser Funds, the "Cruiser Funds and SMAs") that it advises. Keith Rosenbloom ("Mr. Rosenbloom") is the Managing Member of Cruiser Capital and may be deemed to have voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock held by the Cruiser Funds and SMAs. Cruiser Capital and Mr. Rosenbloom each disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities held by the Cruiser Funds and SMAs, except to the extent of its or his pecuniary interest.

(2) As noted in Footnote 1, Cruiser Capital serves as investment adviser to SMAs. A client of one of the SMAs terminated its investment advisory agreement with Cruiser Capital. As a result, Cruiser Capital no longer has discretionary investment nor voting authority with respect to the 411,398 shares of Common Stock held by such SMA client. There were no buy or sell transactions involved with the termination of the agreement and no buy or sell transactions related to this filing.

(3) On October 21, 2024, the reporting person filed a Form 4 which inadvertently reported that, following the disclosed disposition of shares, the reporting person indirectly held 652,792 shares of common stock. In fact, the shares indirectly held after the disposition were 789,284 shares of common stock.
