In addition, the Company has granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 Shares from the Company less any underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Option”).

The estimated net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Shares to be issued and sold by the Company are expected to be approximately $49.6 million, or approximately $60.78 million if the Underwriters exercise the Option in full. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of Shares by the selling shareholder. The offering is expected to close on or about August 18, 2020, subject to customary closing conditions.
