Explanation of Responses:

1. On May 19, 2021, the reporting person entered into a prepaid variable share forward transaction with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"). See Footnote 3 and Remarks for details of the transaction.

2. The prepaid forward transaction with Citibank is divided into 25 components (each a "Component"). For each Component, the reporting person is obligated to deliver to Citibank, on the settlement date (the "Settlement Date") determined based on the specified scheduled valuation date within the period from May 10, 2023 to June 7, 2023, either, at the reporting person's option, (i) up to 49,700 shares of common stock of the Issuer ("Shares")(such Share number, "Subject Number") based on the average market price of the Shares determined as described below in Remarks or (ii) an amount of cash equivalent to the value of such Shares. In exchange for assuming the obligation under each contract, the reporting person received an upfront cash prepayment of $15,205,404 from Citibank.

3. On July 8, 2015, Capital Acquisition Management 2 LLC acquired 3,456,416 shares of common stock from the Issuer. Leland Investments, Inc., an entity controlled by Mr. Ein, is the sole member of Capitol Acquisition Management 2 LLC. Accordingly, Mr. Ein is deemed to have beneficial ownership of shares held by Capitol Acquisition Management 2 LLC.

Remarks:

The cash equivalent to the value of the Subject Number of Shares (or, at the reporting person's option, the Subject Number of Shares) to be delivered to Citibank on each Settlement Date is to be determined as follows: (a) if the volume-weighted average price per Share on the relevant valuation date (the "Settlement Price") is equal to or less than $13.39 per Share (the "Forward Floor Price"), the reporting person will deliver to Citibank the Subject Number of Shares; (b) if the Settlement Price is between the Forward Floor Price and $19.69 per Share (the "Forward Cap Price"), the reporting person will deliver to Citibank a number of Shares equal to the Subject Number multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Forward Floor Price and the denominator of which is the Settlement Price; and (c) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Forward Cap Price, the reporting person will deliver to Citibank a number of Shares equal to the product of (i) the Subject Number and (ii) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (x) the Forward Floor Price and (y) the Settlement Price minus the Forward Cap Price, and (B) the denominator of which is the Settlement Price.
