The Company is not obligated to sell any shares under the Agreement, and the Agent is not required to purchase any shares. No sales will be made pursuant to the Agreement unless and until the Company’s shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-291379) is declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Company has filed the applicable prospectus supplement.
