3. On March 31, 2021, the Reporting Person was granted 61,133 performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs).

Upon certification by the Issuer's compensation committee, 1/48 of the total PRSUs granted will vest for every monthly anniversary since the Vesting Commencement Date (i.e., January 31, 2021), and thereafter on each monthly anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, or upon certification by the Issuer's compensation committee of achievement of certain Issuer stock price conditions as of the fourth anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date.
