Explanation of Responses:

1. Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents the contingent right to receive, upon vesting, one share of the Issuer's Common Stock.

2. Represents the shares sold by the reporting person pursuant to a contractual election to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting and release of the RSUs described in footnotes 6 and 7. This sale does not represent a discretionary trade by the reporting person.

3. Each performance stock unit ("PSU") represents the contingent right to receive, upon vesting, one share of the Issuer's Common Stock.

4. The vesting of the PSUs granted to the reporting person on July 9, 2024 is subject to the Issuer achieving certain fiscal year revenue and adjusted pre-tax net income milestones, each weighted 50%, over three (3) fiscal year performance periods beginning with the Issuer's fiscal year ending April 30, 2025 and continuing through the fiscal year ending April 30, 2027 (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, subject to the reporting person's continuous service to the Issuer on such vesting dates. The number of PSUs listed is based on a maximum 200% achievement of each milestone during each Performance Period (the "Maximum Performance Target"). If 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 are forfeited.

5. RSUs granted to the reporting person on July 9, 2024, vest in sixteen (16) equal quarterly installments over a four (4) year period beginning October 9, 2024, and each quarter thereafter until fully-vested, subject to the reporting person's continuous service to the Issuer on such vesting dates.

6. RSUs granted to the reporting person on July 9, 2023, vest in sixteen (16) equal quarterly installments over a four (4) year period beginning October 9, 2023, and each quarter thereafter until fully-vested, subject to the reporting person's continuous service to the Issuer on such vesting dates.

7. RSUs granted to the reporting person 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, subject to the reporting person's continuous service to the Issuer on such vesting dates.
