Item 1. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

The description of the Registrant’s Shares included in Exhibit 4.1 to the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (File No. 001-37400), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 11, 2025, is incorporated herein by reference, except that any reference to the NYSE is hereby amended to refer to Nasdaq.
