| 1. Disposed of pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of August 8, 2022, by and among the Issuer, Lava Intermediate, Inc. and Lava Merger Sub, Inc., pursuant to which the outstanding shares of the Issuer's Common Stock (other than certain excluded shares) were converted into the right to receive, without interest, the cash merger consideration of $93.50 per share. Amount includes 31,049 restricted stock units ("RSUs") held by the Reporting Person whose acquisition was previously reported in Table I that were cancelled and converted into the contingent right to receive, without interest, $93.50 per share subject to such RSUs, less applicable withholding taxes, with payments subject to the same time-vesting terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding RSUs immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. |
| 2. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, the option was cancelled and converted into the right to receive, without interest, the cash merger consideration of $93.50 for each share subject to the option (whether vested or unvested), less the per share exercise price and applicable withholding taxes |
| 3. The option originally provided that 25% of the total shares subject to the option vested and became exercisable on January 1, 2019, and 1/48th of the total shares subject to the option vested and became exercisable monthly thereafter such that the option was fully vested and exercisable on January 1, 2022. The option was converted into the right to receive the merger consideration with respect to the entire option as set forth in footnote 2. |
| 4. The option, which originally provided that 25% of the total shares subject to the option vested and became exercisable on January 1, 2020, and 1/48th of the total shares subject to the option vested and became exercisable monthly thereafter, was converted into the right to receive the merger consideration with respect to the entire option as set forth in footnote 2. |
| 5. The option, which originally provided that 25% of the total shares subject to the option vested and became exercisable on March 5, 2021, and 1/48th of the total shares subject to the option vested and became exercisable monthly thereafter, was converted into the right to receive the merger consideration with respect to the entire option as set forth in footnote 2. |
