(the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC and Evercore Group L.L.C., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to the sale and issuance of an aggregate of 4,250,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The offering price to the public of the Shares is $11.50 per share, and the Underwriters have agreed to purchase the Shares from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $10.81 per share.
