Explanation of Responses:

1. Represents shares of common stock withheld by the Issuer to satisfy tax withholding obligations of the Reporting Person in connection with the vesting of a portion of restricted shares previously granted to the Reporting Person under the Issuer's Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. Share amounts and price, as applicable, are reflective of the reverse stock split that became effective on June 1, 2020.

2. These performance share units are granted under the Issuer's Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. Each performance share unit represents a share of common stock. The performance share units will be payable, if at all, in common stock, cash, or a combination of common stock and cash, to be determined in the discretion of the Issuer's Compensation Committee, based upon (i) the Issuer's total shareholder return measured against an industry peer group, (ii) on an absolute share return basis and (iii) based on a return on average capital employed metric, over a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2021. The final number of shares of common stock earned can range from 0% to 200% of the performance share units. Share amounts and price, as applicable, are reflective of the reverse stock split that became effective on June 1, 2020.

3. These are outperformance share units that are granted under the Issuer's Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan as part of an offer of employment. Each outperformance share unit represents a share of common stock. The outperformance share units will be payable, if at all, in common stock, based upon the Issuer's highest 50 consecutive trading day average closing stock price that occurs over a three-year performance period ending on June 3, 2022 and will vest in three equal annual installments beginning on June 3, 2022. The final number of shares of common stock earned can range from 0 to 50,000 shares. Share amounts and price, as applicable, are reflective of the reverse stock split that became effective on June 1, 2020.

4. These performance units are granted under the Issuer's Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. The performance units will be payable, if at all, in cash based upon (i) the Issuer's total shareholder return measured against an industry peer group, (ii) on an absolute share return basis and (iii) based on a return on average capital employed metric, over a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2022. The final amount of cash earned is dependent on the performance of the stock price and the factors identified herein with the performance unit multiple having a range of 0% to 200%. Share amounts and price, as applicable, are reflective of the reverse stock split that became effective on June 1, 2020.
