    <footnotes>
        <footnote id="F1">On October 1, 2021, the reporting person filed a Form 4 which included a footnote that inadvertently referred to his purchase of common shares as a sale. The footnote should have stated: &quot;The price reflects the average price of the common shares purchased. These common shares were purchased in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $4.33 to $4.54532 per common share. The Reporting Person undertakes to provide, upon request by the SEC staff, the Issuer or a security holder of the Issuer, full information regarding the number of common shares purchased at each price.&quot; The original Form 4 also mistakenly reported that the date of earliest transaction required to be reported was 9/9/2021. In fact, the date of earliest transaction was 9/30/2021.</footnote>
