The Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts, as the Agent and subject to the terms of the Sales Agreement, to sell the Shares offered. Sales of the Shares, if any, may be made in sales deemed to be an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Shares will be sold pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-290655), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the related prospectus, on October 1, 2025, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement filed therewith (the “Registration Statement”). The Company is not obligated to make any sales under the Sales Agreement, and any sales will depend on market conditions and the Company’s capital needs. The offering will terminate upon the sale of Shares in an aggregate amount specified in the Sales Agreement, or sooner if terminated by either party pursuant to its terms.
The Agent will be paid a commission of 3.0% of the gross sales price of the of the Shares sold pursuant the Sales Agreement.
