Explanation of Responses:
(1) On January 4, 2023, the reporting person filed a Form 4 which over-reported the amount of shares received upon a distribution pursuant to a deferred compensation plan due to the erroneous inclusion of fractional shares. As reported in this amendment, the reporting person acquired 9,196 common shares of the issuer instead of 9,197.393 common shares. The total shares beneficially owned by the reporting person has also been amended to reflect the correct amount of securities owned.
(2) Each share of phantom stock ("Phantom Shares") is the economic equivalent of one common share of the issuer.
(3) Phantom Shares awarded in 2009 and 2010, at the election of the reporting person, became payable on January 1, 2023.
(4) The total differs from amounts previously reported due to additional Phantom Shares attributable to dividends paid by the issuer.
