Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 19, 2023, Cambridge RSUs and performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") were assumed and converted to Company RSUs at an exchange ratio of 4.956 Company units for each Cambridge unit.
(2)	Restricted stock units convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis.
(3)	This award for 3,232 Company RSUs replaced an award of Cambridge RSUs granted to the reporting person on February 15, 2021, that vested in three equal annual installments beginning one year after the grant date. The reporting person elected to defer receipt of common stock issuable upon the vesting of these RSUs.
(4)	This award for 11,241 Company RSUs replaced an award of Cambridge RSUs granted to the reporting person on February 15, 2022, that provided for vesting in three equal annual installments beginning one year after the grant date.

The reporting person elected to defer receipt of common stock issuable upon vesting except for shares withheld for tax obligations.
(7)	This award for 42,221 Company RSUs replaced an award of Cambridge PRSUs that Cambridge granted to the reporting person on April 28, 2023. Subject to continued service, the Company RSU award provides for cliff vesting on December 31, 2025. The reporting person elected to defer receipt of common stock issuable upon vesting except for shares withheld for tax obligations.
(8)	Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Company common stock on the applicable vesting date.
(9)	On September 3, 2024, the reporting person was granted 25,821 restricted stock units that vest in three equal annual installments beginning September 3, 2025, subject to continued service. Vested shares will be issued to the reporting person as soon as practicable after the vesting date.
