Explanation of responses
- F1Represents the number of shares required to be sold by the reporting person to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of the RSUs held by the reporting person. This sale is mandated by the Issuer's election under its equity incentive plans to require the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations to be funded by a "sell to cover" transaction and does not represent a discretionary trade by the reporting person.
- F2This transaction was executed in multiple trades at prices ranging from $81.57 to $84.00. The price reported above reflects the weighted average sale price. The reporting person hereby undertakes to provide full information regarding the number of shares and the prices at which the transactions were effected upon request to the SEC staff, the issuer, or a security holder of the issuer.
- F3This number includes 6,500 shares held by the reporting person from the Issuer's ESPP Plan. The acquisition of these shares under that plan is exempt under Rule 16b-3(c).
