Explanation of Responses:

1. The Performance Stock Units (PSUs) will vest or lapse on April 15, 2024 (Vesting Date), depending on the Company's total shareholder return (the "TSR") performance relative to the Russell 3000 Food and Beverage companies during the performance period as described in the award agreement. If none of the hurdles are met, none of the PSUs will vest and the award will lapse. If the 25th percentile hurdle is met, 25% of the PSUs will vest. If the 50th percentile hurdle is met, 100% of the PSUs will vest. If the 75th percentile hurdle is met, 125% of the PSUs will vest. If the 90th percentile or above is met, 200% of the PSUs will vest. The number included in column 3 of Table II reflects the target number of PSUs eligible for vesting subject to the reporting person's continued employment with the Company through the Vesting Date.

2. The Performance Stock Units do not have an expiration date.

3. The Performance Stock Units ("PSUs") vest on March 31, 2023 based upon the Company's gross Adjusted EBITDA (the "Performance Measure") for its 2022 fiscal year. If the Performance Measure is less than $67.65 million, none of the PSUs will vest and the PSUs will expire. If the Performance Measure is at or greater than $67.65 million, a percentage of the PSUs, ranging from 50% to 100%, will vest in accordance with the vesting table and the remaining PSUs will expire. The vested amount increases by one percentage point for each level of Adjusted EBITDA achieved, as specified in the vesting table. If the Performance Measure is greater than or equal to $83.15 million, all of the PSUs will vest. Vesting is also subject to individual performance and continued employment of the reporting person through the vesting date.

4. The Performance Stock Units (PSUs) will vest or lapse on May 5, 2025 (Vesting Date), depending on the Company's total shareholder return (the "TSR") performance relative to the Russell 3000 Food and Beverage companies during the performance period as described in the award agreement. If none of the hurdles are met, no PSUs will vest and the award will lapse. If the 25th percentile hurdle is met, 25% of the PSUs will vest. If the 50% percentile hurdle is met, 100% of the PSUs will vest. If the 75% percentile hurdle is met, 125% of the PSUs will vest. If the 90th percentile or above is met, 200% of the PSUs will vest. The number included in column 3 of Table II reflects the number of PSUs eligible for vesting subject to the reporting person's continued employment with the Company through the Vesting Date.
