Explanation of Responses:
1. Represents shares of NGVC common stock issued to the reporting person upon the vesting of 100 restricted stock units ("RSUs") on October 15, 2024, where each RSU represented the economic equivalent of one share of NGVC common stock.
2. Exempt transaction pursuant to Section 16b-3(e) - payment of exercise price or tax liability by delivering or withholding securities incident to the receipt, exercise or vesting of a security issued in accordance with Rule 16b-3. All of the shares reported as disposed of on this line were relinquished by the Reporting Person and cancelled by the Issuer in exchange for the Issuer's agreement to pay federal and state tax withholding obligations of the Reporting Person resulting from the vesting of the RSUs.
3. Each RSU represents the economic equivalent of one share of NGVC common stock.
4. Includes (a) 480 RSUs vesting on October 1, 2025, (b) 4,000 RSUs vesting on November 1, 2025, and (c) 4,000 RSUs vesting on October 31, 2026.
Remarks:
The Reporting Person is a party to a Stockholders Agreement that contains voting agreements and thus is a member of a Schedule 13D group that beneficially owns more than 10% of the issuer's common stock. The number of shares identified as beneficially owned by the Reporting Person excludes shares of Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned by her solely because of this Stockholders Agreement.
