EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Registration Statement is being filed by the Registrant to register an additional 3,700,000 shares of Common Stock, securities of the same class for which a Registration Statement on Form S-8 relating to the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Stock Plan, as amended (the “2019 Stock Plan”) is effective. Accordingly, the contents of the previous Registration Statements on Forms S-8 filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 21, 2020 (File No. 333-248234) and June 15, 2022 (File No. 333-265625) (the “Previous Registration Statements”), including periodic reports filed after the Previous Registration Statements on Forms S-8 to maintain current information about the Registrant, are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8.

On September 6, 2022, the Registrant’s Board of Directors approved an increase of 2,000,000 shares in the number of shares of Common Stock reserved under the 2019 Stock Plan. The Registrant’s shareholders approved the increase on October 31, 2022. Accordingly, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance was increased by 2,000,000 shares effective October 31, 2022. On June 27, 2023, the Registrant’s Board of Directors approved an additional increase of 1,700,000 shares in the number of shares of Common Stock reserved under the 2019 Stock Plan. The Registrant’s shareholders approved the increase on August 28, 2023. Accordingly, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance was increased by an additional 1,700,000 shares effective August 28, 2023.

This Registration Statement registers the 2,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock that became available for issuance under the 2019 Stock Plan on October 31, 2022 and the 1,700,000 additional shares of Common Stock that become available for issuance under the 2019 Stock Plan on August 28, 2023, as a result of the amendments. Previously, 1,740,009 shares reserved for issuance under the 2019 Stock Plan were registered under the Previous Registration Statements. An aggregate of 320,769 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2019 Stock Plan have not been registered due to an available exemption under Rule 701.

The following documents previously filed by the Registrant with the Commission are incorporated herein by reference:

In addition, documents filed, but not furnished, by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date hereof and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all securities offered under this Registration Statement have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
