In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements, forms of which were previously filed as exhibits to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-260171) related to the IPO, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 8, 2021 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”):
