The Secondary Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s resale shelf registration statement, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 25, 2020 and initially declared effective on April 3, 2020, as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, filed with the SEC on July 1, 2021 and declared effective on July 12, 2021. The Selling Stockholder also granted the Representatives a 30-day option to purchase up to 330,000 additional shares of Common Stock. All of the shares of Common Stock were sold by the Selling Stockholder and the Company did not issue any new shares of Common Stock in connection with the Secondary Offering. The price to the public in the Secondary Offering is $16.25 per share and pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Representatives have agreed to purchase the Shares from the Selling Stockholder at a price of $15.4375 per share. The Selling Stockholder is an affiliate of B. Riley Securities, Inc.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and closing conditions. It also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Representatives against certain liabilities and customary contribution provisions in respect of those liabilities.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
