On February 23, 2021, the Reporting Person entered into a master confirmation in respect of a prepaid variable forward sale contract with an unaffiliated party (the "February 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract") with an unaffiliated bank (the "Bank") relating to 400,000 Common Shares and obligating the Reporting Person to deliver to the Bank up to 400,000 Common Shares of the Issuer (or, at the Reporting Person's election, under certain circumstances, an equivalent amount of cash) to settle the February 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract.

In exchange for entering into the February 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract and assuming the obligations thereunder, the Reporting Person received a cash payment of $4,212,520.00.

Under the February 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract, on each of the five settlement dates in February and March of 2022 the Reporting Person was obligated to deliver to the Bank a number of Common Shares determined as follows (or, under certain circumstances, at the Reporting Person's election, he could pay an equivalent amount in cash): (a) if the closing price of the Issuer's Common Stock on the related valuation date (the "February 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price") was less than or equal to $11.0500 (the "February 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Floor Price"), the Reporting Person would deliver to the Bank 80,000 shares (i.e., the ratable portion of the February 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Pledged Shares to be delivered with respect to each settlement date); (b) if the February 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price was between the February 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Floor Price and $15.6000 (the "February 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Cap Price"), the Reporting Person would deliver to the Bank a number of Common Shares equal to 80,000 shares multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which was the February 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Floor Price and the denominator of which was the February 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price; and (c) if the February 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price was greater than the February 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Cap Price, the Reporting Person would deliver to the Bank the number of Common Shares equal to the product of (i) 80,000 shares and (ii) a fraction (a) the numerator of which was the sum of (x) the February 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Floor Price and (y) the February 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price minus the February 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Cap Price, and (b) the denominator of which was the February 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price.

The Reporting Person elected cash settlement in connection with the 80,000 Common Shares subject to the February 11, 2022 valuation date under the Agreement and delivered 69,008 Common Shares in connection with the physical settlement (which was the default settlement method) in respect of the 80,000 Common Shares subject to the February 16, 2021 settlement date pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. The 69,008 Common Shares were settled on February 18, 2022. The Reporting Person delivered 69,716 Common Shares in connection with the physical settlement (which was the default settlement method) in respect of the 80,000 Common Shares subject to the February 22, 2022 evaluation date pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. The 69,716 Common Shares were settled on February 24, 2022.

The 65,433 Common Shares were settled on March 1, 2022. The Reporting Person delivered 61,904 Common Shares in connection with the physical settlement (which was the default settlement method) in respect of the 80,000 Common Shares subject to the March 2, 2022 evaluation date pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.

On April 7, 2021, the Reporting Person entered into a master confirmation in respect of a prepaid variable forward sale contract with the Bank (the "April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract") relating to 400,000 Common Shares and obligating the Reporting Person to deliver to the Bank up to 400,000 Common Shares of the Issuer (or, at the Reporting Person's election, under certain circumstances, an equivalent amount of cash) to settle the April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract.

In exchange for entering into the April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract and assuming the obligations thereunder, the Reporting Person received a cash payment of $4,059,120.00. The Reporting Person pledged 400,000 Common Shares (the "April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Pledged Shares") to secure his obligations under the April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract, and retained voting and dividend rights in the April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Pledged Shares during the term of the pledge (and thereafter if the Reporting Person settles the April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract in cash).

Under the April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract, on each of the five settlement dates in March and April of 2022 the Reporting Person was obligated to deliver to the Bank a number of Common Shares determined as follows (or, under certain circumstances, at the Reporting Person's election, he could pay an equivalent amount in cash): (a) if the closing price of the Issuer's Common Stock on the related valuation date (the "April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price") was less than or equal to $10.6845 (the "April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Floor Price"), the Reporting Person would deliver to the Bank 80,000 shares (i.e., the ratable portion of the April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Pledged Shares to be delivered with respect to each settlement date); (b) if the April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price was between the April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Floor Price and $15.0840 (the "April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Cap Price"), the Reporting Person would deliver to the Bank a number of Common Shares equal to 80,000 shares multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which was the April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Floor Price and the denominator of which was the April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price; and (c) if the April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price was greater than the April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Cap Price, the Reporting Person would deliver to the Bank the number of Common Shares equal to the product of (i) 80,000 shares and (ii) a fraction (a) the numerator of which was the sum of (x) the April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Floor Price and (y) the April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price minus the April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Cap Price, and (b) the denominator of which was the April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price.

On March 14, 2022, the Reporting Person effectively amended the April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract (the “March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract”) relating to 400,000 Common Shares and obligating the Reporting Person to deliver to the Bank up to 400,000 Common Shares of the Issuer (or, at the Reporting Person's election, under certain circumstances, an equivalent amount of cash) to settle the March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract. The April 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract was effectively amened to move the settlement date to February and March of 2023.

In exchange for entering into the March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract and assuming the obligations thereunder, the Reporting Person received a net cash payment of $22,280.00. The Reporting Person continued to pledge 400,000 Common Shares (the "March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract Pledged Shares") to secure his obligations under the March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract, and retained voting and dividend rights in the March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract Pledged Shares during the term of the pledge (and thereafter if the Reporting Person settles the March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract in cash).

Under the March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract, on each of the five settlement dates in February and March of 2023 the Reporting Person will be obligated to deliver to the Bank a number of Common Shares determined as follows (or, under certain circumstances, at the Reporting Person's election, he may pay an equivalent amount in cash): (a) if the closing price of the Issuer's Common Stock on the related valuation date (the "March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price") is less than or equal to $11.8575 (the "March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract Floor Price"), the Reporting Person will deliver to the Bank 80,000 shares (i.e., the ratable portion of the March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract Pledged Shares to be delivered with respect to each settlement date); (b) if the March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price is between the March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract Floor Price and $16.7400 (the "March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract Cap Price"), the Reporting Person will deliver to the Bank a number of Common Shares equal to 80,000 shares multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract Floor Price and the denominator of which is the March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price; and (c) if the March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price is greater than the March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract Cap Price, the Reporting Person will deliver to the Bank the number of Common Shares equal to the product of (i) 80,000 shares and (ii) a fraction (a) the numerator of which is the sum of (x) the March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract Floor Price and (y) the March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price minus the March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract Cap Price, and (b) the denominator of which is the March 2022 Amended Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price.

In exchange for entering into the June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract and assuming the obligations thereunder, the Reporting Person received a cash payment of $4,560,960.00. The Reporting Person pledged 400,000 Common Shares (the "June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Pledged Shares") to secure his obligations under the June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract, and retained voting and dividend rights in the June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Pledged Shares during the term of the pledge (and thereafter if the Reporting Person settles the June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract in cash).

Under the June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract, on each of the five settlement dates in June of 2022 the Reporting Person will be obligated to deliver to the Bank a number of Common Shares determined as follows (or, under certain circumstances, at the Reporting Person's election, he may pay an equivalent amount in cash): (a) if the closing price of the Issuer's Common Stock on the related valuation date (the "June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price") is less than or equal to $12.0190 (the "June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Floor Price"), the Reporting Person will deliver to the Bank 80,000 shares (i.e., the ratable portion of the June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Pledged Shares to be delivered with respect to each settlement date); (b) if the June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price is between the June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Floor Price and $16.9680 (the "June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Cap Price"), the Reporting Person will deliver to the Bank a number of Common Shares equal to 80,000 shares multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Floor Price and the denominator of which is the June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price; and (c) if the June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price is greater than the June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Cap Price, the Reporting Person will deliver to the Bank the number of Common Shares equal to the product of (i) 80,000 shares and (ii) a fraction (a) the numerator of which is the sum of (x) the June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Floor Price and (y) the June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price minus the June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Cap Price, and (b) the denominator of which is the June 2021 Prepaid Forward Contract Settlement Price.

As previously disclosed by the Issuer, in June of 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Issuer approved a discretionary restricted share award under the Issuer's Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan to the Reporting Person in the amount of 72,500 restricted shares. The restricted shares shall vest ratably and in three equal installments commencing with, and on the subsequent anniversaries of, August 5, 2022 (the "Grant Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restricted shares (the "Vesting Shares") to be issued to the Reporting Person that are eligible to vest on August 5, 2024 (the "Scheduled Vesting Date") shall vest when and only if the volume weighted average price of the Issuer’s Common Shares over any consecutive 15-day period prior to the final business day of the tenth fiscal quarter following the Grant Date of the Vesting Shares, as reported on Bloomberg (or on such other internationally recognized financial information provider), equals or exceeds, 95% of the book value of an Issuer share, which shall be determined (in good faith by the management of the Issuer) in respect of the Scheduled Vesting Date, as of the first business day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the Scheduled Vesting Date.

In connection with the vesting of a portion of the August 2022 Restricted Stock Award (24,167 Common Shares) on August 5, 2022, 10,856 Common Shares were withheld by the Issuer to satisfy the Reporting Person's tax withholding obligations.
