The Company will pay the Agents a commission up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from each sale of Shares and provide the Agents with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Sales Agreement may be terminated by the Agents or the Company at any time upon five (5) days’ notice to the other party.
The Shares will be offered pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-286936), which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 12, 2025, and a prospectus supplement filed with the Commission on May 8, 2026 in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement.
The Sales Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Agents, including for liabilities under the Securities Act and other obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Sales Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sales Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company intends to use any net cash proceeds it receives from the issuance and sale by it of any shares of the Company’s common stock to or through the Agents for general corporate purposes, including working capital.
