Item 8.01.  Other Events.

 

On October 23, 2025, the Company filed a new Form S-3 registration statement (“shelf registration”) to replace its existing shelf registration. Such registration statements expire 3 years from their effective date. The Company’s existing shelf registration went effective on October 25, 2022. As such, that registration statement expires on October 25, 2025. In order to maintain an ongoing effective shelf registration, it was necessary for the Company to file a new registration statement before the expiration of the existing one. Accordingly, the Company filed the new shelf registration on October 23, 2025.
