These additional shares of Common Stock have become reserved for issuance as a result of the operation of the “evergreen” provision of the 2020 Omnibus Plan, which provides that the total number of shares subject to the 2020 Omnibus Plan will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year pursuant to a specified formula.
Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of such earlier registration statements, as amended by the post-effective amendments, where applicable, are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement, except that the provisions contained in Part II of such earlier registration statements are modified as set forth in this Registration Statement.
