In August 2024, the Company entered into a Rights Agreement between the Company and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC as Rights Agent (as amended from time to time, the “Rights Agreement"), which was previously approved by the Board. In connection with the Rights Agreement, a dividend was declared of one preferred stock purchase right (individually, a “Right” and collectively, the “Rights”) for each share of the common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company outstanding at the close of business on August 29, 2024 (the “Record Date”). Each Right entitles the registered holder thereof, after the Rights become exercisable and until August 15, 2025 (or the earlier redemption, exchange or termination of the Rights), to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Series A Preferred”), of the Company at a price of $6.50 per one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Preferred, subject to adjustment. The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement”) and the Rights will expire on August 15, 2025, subject to the Company’s right to extend such date, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company or terminated. Additional information regarding the Rights Agreement is contained in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. The adoption of the Shareholder Rights Plan had no impact on the financial position of the Company.
