PART I
Purpose of Amendment
The Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed by the Registrant on May 22, 2024, with respect to shares of common stock of the Registrant to be offered under the Registrant’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) listed an incorrect number of shares in the filing fee table filed as an exhibit to the registration statement. The filing fee table listed 4,000,000 shares of common stock to be offered under the Plan. The correct number of shares is 2,400,000 shares of common stock. The form of the Plan as approved by the stockholders at the annual meeting held on May 22, 2024, and as attached as an exhibit to the registration statement states that the maximum number of shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the Plan is 2,400,000 shares. The Registrant is filing this amendment to the registration statement to reduce the number of shares registered from 4,000,000 shares to 2,400,000 shares to reflect that 1,600,000 shares of common stock will not be sold in this offering. The amended filing fee table is attached as an exhibit. The Registrant may offset the filing fee paid for the unsold shares against the filing fee of a future registration statement filed by the Registrant pursuant to SEC Rule 457(p).
