Sales of the Common Stock made pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, if any, may be made in &#8220;at the market offerings&#8221; as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act, including sales made directly on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the existing trading market for shares of our common stock, or sales made to or through a market maker or through an electronic communications network or by such other methods, including privately negotiated transactions (including block transactions), as we and any Sales Agent agree to in writing. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including (among others) market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock, capital needs and determinations by the Company of the appropriate sources of funding for the Company. Any shares sold will be offered and sold pursuant to the Company&#8217;s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-275345) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 6, 2023.</span></div><div style="padding-left:9pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="padding-left:9pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In addition to the issuance and sale of Common Stock by the Company through the Sales Agents, the Company also may enter into forward stock purchase transactions (each, a &#8220;Forward Transaction&#8221;) with the Forward Purchasers as set forth in a separate letter agreement (each, a &#8220;Forward Agreement&#8221;), a form of which is attached as Exhibit B to the Distribution Agreement.

If the Company elects to physically settle any Forward Agreement by delivering Common Stock, it will receive an amount of cash from the Forward Purchaser equal to the product of the initial forward sale price per share under such Forward Agreement and the number of shares underlying such Forward Agreement, subject to the price adjustment and other provisions of the Forward Agreement. Each Forward Agreement will provide that the initial forward sale price, as well as the sales prices used to calculate the initial forward sale price, will be subject to adjustment based on a floating interest rate factor equal to the overnight bank funding rate less a spread. In addition, the initial forward sale price will be subject to decrease on certain dates specified in such Forward Agreement by the amount per share of quarterly dividends the Company expects to declare during the term of such Forward Agreement. If the overnight bank funding rate is less than the spread on any day, the interest rate factor will result in a daily reduction of the forward sale price.</span></div><div style="padding-left:9pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="padding-left:9pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Except under the circumstances described in the next sentence, the Company has the right, in lieu of physical settlement of any Forward Agreement, to elect cash or net share settlement of such Forward Agreement.
