EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Registration Statement is being filed by the Registrant to register an additional 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock, securities of the same class for which a Registration Statement on Form S-8 relating to the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Stock Plan, as amended (the “2019 Stock Plan”) is effective. Accordingly, the contents of the previous Registration Statements on Forms S-8 filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 21, 2020 (File No. 333-248234), June 15, 2022 (File No. 333-265625) and September 14, 2023 (File No. 333-274517) (the “Previous Registration Statements”), including periodic reports filed after the Previous Registration Statements on Forms S-8 to maintain current information about the Registrant, are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8.

On June 28, 2024, the Registrant’s Board of Directors approved an increase of 1,600,000 shares in the number of shares of Common Stock reserved under the 2019 Stock Plan. The Registrant’s shareholders approved the increase on August 19, 2024. Accordingly, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance was increased by 1,600,000 shares effective August 19, 2024.

This Registration Statement registers the 1,600,000 additional shares of Common Stock that became available for issuance under the 2019 Stock Plan on August 19, 2024, as a result of the amendment. Previously, 5,760,778 shares reserved for issuance under the 2019 Stock Plan were registered under the Previous Registration Statements. An aggregate of 320,769 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2019 Stock Plan have not been registered due to an available exemption under Rule 701.

The following documents previously filed by the Registrant with the Commission are incorporated herein by reference:

In addition, documents filed, but not furnished, by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date hereof and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all securities offered under this Registration Statement have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. In no event, however, will any of the information, including exhibits, that the Registrant discloses under Item 2.02 and Item 7.01 of any report on Form 8-K that has been or may be, from time to time, furnished to the Commission, be incorporated by reference into or otherwise become a part of this Registration Statement.
