Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,925,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares,” and together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”) on the same terms.

 

The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and customary conditions to closing, obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
