Morgan Securities LLC, Jefferies LLC and Cowen and Company, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten public offering of 6,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). All of the Shares are being sold by the Company. The price to the public is $34.50 per share, and the Underwriters have agreed to purchase the Shares from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $32.43 per share. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 975,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) at the same price per share as the Shares.
The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $210.5 million, or approximately $242.2 million if the Underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase Additional Shares, in each case after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
