On May 28, 2021, the Company entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM (the “Sale Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC, as agent (“Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell (the “Offering”), from time to time, at its option, through or to the Agent, up to an aggregate of $50,000,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”). Any Shares to be offered and sold under the Sale Agreement will be issued and sold pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (once it has become effective), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 28, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”) and the prospectus relating to the Offering that was filed with and included in the Registration Statement, by methods deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), or if specified by the Company, by any other method permitted by law, including, but not limited to, in negotiated and block transactions.
Subject to the terms of the Sale Agreement, the Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions the Company may impose).

The Sale Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (a) the sale of the maximum number or amount of the Shares permitted to be sold under the Sale Agreement, (b) the termination of the Sale Agreement by either of the parties thereto.
