Explanation of Responses:

1. Mr. Shmuely received a grant of options on April 7, 2021, 80% of which has vested and become exercisable. The remaining 20% will vest and become exercisable on April 7, 2026.

2. Unless otherwise determined by the option plans' administrators, a net exercise mechanism will be used with respect to the options, which entitles Mr. Shmuely to exercise the options for a number of shares determined based on the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares underlying such options minus the exercise price of such options, calculated based on the date of exercise. Therefore, the number of shares actually received by Mr. Shmuely following any exercise of options will likely be fewer than the number of shares subject to the options.

3. Mr. Shmuely's options are held in trust in accordance with the terms of his award agreement and the option plan under which they were granted. Mr. Shmuely is the sole beneficiary of the options.

4. Mr. Shmuely received a grant of options on September 19, 2024, which vests and becomes exercisable in three tranches: 40% on September 19, 2026, 30% on September 19, 2027, and 30% on September 19, 2028.
