The number of shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2021 Plan is subject to an automatic annual increase on each January 1 by an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) four percent (4%) of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or (ii) such number of shares of common stock as determined by the Administrator (as defined in the 2021 Plan). Accordingly, on January 1, 2022, the number of shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2021 Plan increased by 1,248,973. This Registration Statement registers these additional 1,248,973 shares of common stock.
