Explanation of responses
- F1The sale reported in this Form 4 is made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.
- F2The original Form 4, filed on January 16, 2018, is being amended by this Form 4 amendment solely to correct an administrative error, which misreported a sale that occurred on January 12, 2018 as a total of 5,000 shares sold when in fact 8,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock were sold. As a result of this administrative error, the number of shares beneficially owned by the reporting person following the corrected transaction reflects a reduction in the number of shares reported as beneficially owned by the reporting person by 3,000 shares, and includes shares acquired in dividend reinvestment transactions.
- F3The exercise and sale transactions reported in this Form 4 are made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.
