Explanation of Responses:
(1)	The restricted stock units ("RSU") granted on October 11, 2021, is subject to a four (4) year vesting schedule. 25% vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and the remaining balance vest in twelve (12) equal quarterly installments beginning January 11, 2023 and each quarter thereafter until fully-vested.
(2)	Each RSU represents the contingent right to receive, upon vesting, one share of the Issuer's Common Stock.
(3)	The RSUs granted on July 9, 2022, vest in sixteen (16) equal quarterly installments over a four (4) year period beginning October 9, 2022 and each quarter thereafter until fully-vested.
(4)	The performance stock units ("PSU") granted on October 11, 2021, is subject to the Issuer achieving certain fiscal year revenue and adjusted net profit milestones, weighted 60% and 40%, respectively, over three (3) fiscal year performance periods beginning with the Issuer's fiscal year ending April 30, 2022 and continuing through the fiscal year ending April 30, 2024 (each a "Performance Period"). Subject to the Issuer attaining the applicable fiscal year milestones, 1/3rd of the PSUs will vest on the last day of each fiscal year during the Performance Period. The number of PSUs listed is based on a maximum 200% achievement of each milestone during each remaining Performance Period (the "Maximum Performance Target"). In the event that a milestone is achieved at a rate below the Maximum Performance Target, or is not achieved, the corresponding portion of the PSUs that do not vest will be forfeited.
