Sales, if any, will be made in transactions deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which may be made directly on The Nasdaq Capital Market or otherwise at prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices, as permitted by the Agreement. The Company is not obligated to sell any shares under the Agreement, and the Agent is not required to purchase any shares. No sales will be made pursuant to the Agreement unless and until the Company’s shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-291379) is declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Company has filed the applicable prospectus supplement.
