| 1. Reflects a grant of restricted stock units ("RSUs") made to the Reporting Person under the Issuer's 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the "Plan"). Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"). The RSUs vested in full on July 31, 2025. |
| 2. Includes (i) 122 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 5,000 RSUs, which were granted to the Reporting Person on July 31, 2025 as reported herein, and (iii) 5,400 shares of Common Stock, which the Reporting Person has the right to acquire upon the exercise of stock options exercisable within 60 days of July 31, 2025. |
| 3. The exercise price of the Options (as defined below) was determined based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the date the Options were conditionally approved by the board of directors. |
| 4. Reflects a grant of stock options (the "Options") made to the Reporting Person under the Plan. The Options were approved by the board of directors on April 28, 2025, subject to stockholder approval of an increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan under which the Options were granted (the "Plan Amendment"). The Plan Amendment was approved by stockholders on July 31, 2025. The Options vested in full and became immediately exercisable on July 31, 2025. |
