Explanation of Responses:

(1) On March 14, 2020, 29,523 performance-vesting restricted stock units held by Mr. Walther vested. Pursuant to the terms of his restricted stock unit award agreement, the Company withheld 13,677 of the shares otherwise deliverable to him in order to satisfy the resulting tax withholding obligation. As the performance conditions underlying this restricted stock unit award were not achieved at the maximum level, 6,222 previously reported restricted stock units did not vest. In addition, 19,014 previously reported shares granted pursuant to an additional restricted stock unit award did not vest, as the performance conditions underlying that award were not achieved.

(2) These securities are held by the Walther-Stockton 2013 Family Trust.

(3) The transactions reported on this Form 4 were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on November 26, 2019 by the Walther-Stockton 2013 Family Trust.

(4) Following the transactions reported on this Form 4, Mr. Walther held (a) 18,182 shares of the Company's common stock (b) 31,146 restricted stock units, and (c) 74,977 performance-vesting restricted stock units, each representing the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock.

(5) The exercised options were vested as of March 14, 2020 and the grant will be fully vested on March 14, 2021.
