On April 28, 2020, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to indicate its intention to rely on the Order and delay the filing of the Proxy Statement. Consistent with the Company&#8217;s disclosure in that Form 8-K, the Company had experienced some delay in its customary filing process and timeline related to the Proxy Statement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These conditions made it necessary to delay the disclosure of the information required to be included in Part III of the Company&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2019 (all of which is now included in the Proxy Statement). </font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">This additional information does not amend, modify, or otherwise update any other information in the Proxy Statement.
