2. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock.

3. Shares withheld by the Issuer to satisfy tax withholding requirements on vesting of restricted stock units.

4. On January 31, 2024, the Reporting Person was granted 50,000 restricted stock units. The restricted stock units vested on the 10th business day following the clearance by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration ("FDA") of the Company's CanGarooRM antibiotic-eluting biologic envelope, unless such date is not during one of the Company's open trading windows, in which case such RSUs vested as of the first business day of the next open trading window. The CanGarooRM antibiotic-eluting biologic envelope, now known as EluPro, was cleared by the FDA on June 14, 2024 and the first business day of the next open trading window was August 12, 2024.
