The Company’s trading blackout period is currently in effect, and the next potential trading window will not occur until at least March 1, 2024.

The sale of shares under the Distribution Agreement (if any), through or to the Sales Agents, will be through transactions deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), on or through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), on any other existing trading market for the shares or to or through a market maker, by any other method permitted by law, including, without limitation, privately negotiated transactions at prices prevailing in the market at the time of sale or as otherwise agreed with the Sales Agents pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares, and may at any time suspend offers under the Agreement or terminate the Agreement.

The Company made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants concerning the Company and the Common Stock in the Distribution Agreement and agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Sales Agents against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
