The description of the Registrant’s Common Stock under the heading “Description of Capital Stock” in the Registrant’s prospectus forming part of its Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-261475), as initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 17, 2021, as thereafter amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Registration Statement”) is incorporated by reference herein. In addition, all of the above-referenced descriptions included in any prospectus relating to the Registration Statement filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein.
