Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 1,155,000 shares of Common Stock at the same price. The Offering is expected to close on November 22, 2022, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
