(1) The calculation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (a) excludes the mark-to-market of escrow liability and (b) includes the escrowed shares within the Company's diluted weighted average number of shares, in each case in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260, Earnings Per Share ("ASC 260"), which requires this treatment in periods where the combined effect of these adjustments is accretive to earnings.

(2) No adjustment for the mark-to-market of escrow liability was made to Diluted Net Income Per Share, Adjusted for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as the calculation of diluted net income per share for these periods already excludes the mark-to-market of escrow liability in accordance with ASC 260.
