            <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">This prospectus describes our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the &#8220;Plan&#8221;). The Plan provides a simple and convenient method of reinvesting cash dividends paid on shares of our common stock and making optional cash investments in additional shares of our common stock. The Plan also provides us with the ability to sell our authorized but unissued shares of our common stock to participants and new investors, which will improve our liquidity by providing additional funds for general corporate purposes. Please review this prospectus carefully and retain it for future reference. </font>

You have no control over the price and, in the case of shares of our common stock purchased or sold in the open market, the time at which such shares are purchased or sold for your account. You bear the market risk associated with fluctuations in the price of our common stock that occur while completion of a purchase or sale of such shares for your account is pending. </font>

For more information, see &#8220;Available Information&#8221; and &#8220;Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.&#8221; We cannot assure you of a profit or protect you against a loss on the shares of our common stock that you purchase or sell under the Plan. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">In addition, there are risks associated with participation in the Plan. You will not know the price of the shares you are purchasing under the Plan at the time you authorize the investment or elect to have your dividends reinvested. The price of our common stock may fluctuate between the time you decide to purchase shares under the Plan and the time of actual purchase. In addition, during this period, you may become aware of additional information that might affect your investment decision. If you instruct the Plan administrator to sell shares under the Plan, you will not be able to direct the time and price at which your shares are sold. The price of our shares may decline between the time you decide to sell shares and the time of actual sale. If you decide to withdraw from the Plan, the Plan administrator will continue to hold your shares unless you request to have your shares transferred to another account. If you request such a transfer, the market price of our shares may decline between the time you request such a transfer and the date such transfer is effective. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">If our common stock owned by Neil J. Hennessy, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, falls below 25% as a result of this offering, then under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, as amended, and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, we may be deemed to have experienced a change in control. A change in control will be deemed to constitute an assignment of the management agreements covering each of our mutual funds, which will terminate such management agreements automatically. Therefore, new management agreements covering our mutual funds would have to be approved by the holders of the lesser of (i)&#160;a majority of the outstanding shares of each mutual fund and (ii)&#160;two-thirds of the shares voted, provided that at least a majority of the outstanding shares are voted. </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:11.5pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">If we are deemed to have experienced a change in control, we expect that the board of trustees that oversees our mutual funds would recommend that the mutual fund shareholders approve new management agreements with Hennessy Advisors covering each of our mutual funds. However, we cannot assure you that the requisite fund shareholder vote would be obtained. Any meeting of fund shareholders may be adjourned for a total of up to 150&#160;days in order to obtain the required vote. If the shareholders of any of our mutual funds were to fail to approve the assignment after all adjournments, the board of trustees would be required to determine whether to engage a different investment manager to serve as investment manager for such fund. The board of trustees could also take other actions, such as closing a fund whose shareholders do not approve the new management agreement or merging the fund into one of our other mutual funds. If any of our mutual funds retains a new investment advisor or is closed following a change in control, we will lose the management agreement and any shareholder servicing agreement with that mutual fund, and we may lose revenues if shareholders of a merged fund redeem their shares. </font>

We will pay these costs regardless of the outcome of the vote, even though these costs will not result in any increase in our revenues or earnings. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">We earn revenues primarily by providing investment advisory services to the Hennessy Funds and secondarily by providing shareholder services to shareholders of the Hennessy Funds. Investment advisory services include managing the composition of each fund&#8217;s portfolio (including the purchase, retention, and disposition of portfolio securities in accordance with each fund&#8217;s investment objectives, policies, and restrictions), monitoring each fund&#8217;s compliance with its investment restrictions and federal securities laws, monitoring the liquidity of each fund, reviewing each fund&#8217;s investment performance, overseeing the selection and continued employment of sub-advisors and monitoring such sub-advisors&#8217; adherence to the fund&#8217;s investment objectives, policies, and restrictions, monitoring and overseeing other service providers, maintaining in-house marketing and distribution departments, preparing and distributing regulatory reports, and monitoring and overseeing distribution through third-party financial intermediaries. Shareholder services include maintaining a toll-free number that the current investors in the Hennessy Funds may call to ask questions about the funds or their accounts or to get help with processing exchange and redemption requests or changing account options. The fees we receive for investment advisory and shareholder services are calculated as a&#160;percentage of the average daily net asset values of the Hennessy Funds. Accordingly, our total revenue increases or decreases as our average assets under management rises or falls. The&#160;percentage amount of the investment advisory fees varies from fund to fund, but the&#160;percentage amount of the shareholder service fees is consistent across all funds. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">We have delegated the day-to-day portfolio management responsibilities to sub-advisors, subject to our oversight, for some of the Hennessy Funds. In exchange for these sub-advisory services, we pay each sub-advisor a fee out of our own assets, which is calculated as a&#160;percentage of the average daily net asset values of the sub-advised funds. Accordingly, the sub-advisory fees we pay increase or decrease as our average assets under management in our sub-advised funds increases or decreases, respectively. </font>

Although our total AUM has fluctuated up and down throughout our history, it was 851% higher as of the end of fiscal year 2020 than our total AUM of $375&#160;million as of the end of fiscal year 2002, which was our first fiscal year as a public company. </font>

In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;intend,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;could,&#8221; &#8220;would,&#8221; &#8220;assume,&#8221; &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;predict,&#8221; &#8220;potential,&#8221; &#8220;project,&#8221; &#8220;continue,&#8221; &#8220;seek,&#8221; and similar expressions, as well as statements in the future tense. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events, based on information currently available to us. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at which, or means by which, such performance or results will be achieved. </font>

Unforeseen developments could cause actual performance or results to differ substantially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward looking statements.

Further, the business and regulatory environments in which we operate remain complex, uncertain, and subject to change. We expect that regulatory requirements and developments will cause us to incur additional administrative and compliance costs. Notwithstanding the variability in our economic and regulatory environments, we remain focused on the investment performance of the Hennessy Funds and on providing high quality customer service to investors. </font>

The success of our business strategy may be influenced by the factors discussed in the section titled &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; in this prospectus. All statements regarding our business strategy, as well as statements regarding market trends and risks and assumptions about changes in the marketplace, are forward looking by their nature. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The purpose of the Plan is to offer a convenient and simple method for our shareholders and new investors to purchase shares of our common stock and to reinvest cash dividends paid on our common stock without payment of any brokerage commission. Participants in the Plan may have all or any portion of their cash dividends automatically reinvested in shares of our common stock. Participants may also elect to make optional cash purchases through the Plan administrator. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">There are no processing fees or service fees on newly issued shares purchased from us for your account.

Processing fees include the applicable brokerage commissions that the Plan administrator is required to pay. We will pay all costs of administering the Plan. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The Plan is primarily intended to benefit long-term investors who want to increase their investment in our common stock, in contrast to individuals or institutions that engage in short-term trading activities that could cause aberrations in the overall trading volume of our common stock. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate participation in this Plan by otherwise-eligible common shareholders in order to eliminate practices that are inconsistent with the purposes of the Plan. We may also use the Plan to raise additional capital through the direct sale of shares of our common stock to shareholders or new investors, who, in connection with any resales of such shares, may be deemed to be underwriters. Our ability to waive limitations applicable to the amounts that participants may invest pursuant to the optional cash purchase feature of the Plan would allow for these sales to raise additional capital. </font>

Participation in the Plan may begin or terminate at any time. If you decide to participate, Enrollment Forms may be found and completed online. You can access these forms through the Plan administrator&#8217;s website, </font><font style=" text-decoration:underline;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">www.computershare.com/investor</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">. </font>

These sales of shares by the Company will provide additional funds to the Company. We intend to use the proceeds of such sales for general corporate purposes, including funding additional asset growth. </font>

To purchase shares using this feature, you must invest at least $50 at any one time (or at least $250 for an initial investment if you are not already a shareholder), but you cannot invest more than $10,000 monthly. However, we may waive the maximum limit at our discretion. See Question 16 for more information on requests for a waiver of these limitations. Any optional cash purchase of less than $50 (or less than $250 for an initial investment if you are not already a shareholder) and the portion of any optional cash purchase or investments totaling more than $10,000 monthly, except for optional cash purchases made pursuant to a granted waiver request, will be returned to you without interest.

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">While you are enrolled in the Plan, the minimum additional cash purchase is $50 (or $250 if the cash payment is for the initial purchase of shares of our common stock). The aggregate amount of any optional cash payments that you may deliver to the Plan administrator during any calendar month may not exceed $10,000. Any additional amount that you may invest through your participation in the dividend reinvestment feature under the Plan does not count toward either the minimum or the maximum permissible investment amount under the optional cash purchase feature. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">From time to time, we may accept requests for waiver of the maximum optional cash purchases and initial investments in excess of $10,000. As further explained in Question 16, you may call the Plan administrator at 1&#160;(800) 393-5809 to inquire whether we are accepting waiver requests. If we are accepting waiver requests and we approve your request, your optional cash purchase or initial investment, as applicable, may exceed $10,000. See the section titled &#8220;Optional Cash Purchases and Initial Investments in Excess of $10,000&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;Waiver Request&#8221; for more information. </font>

If the Plan administrator receives payment for an optional cash purchase that is more than $10,000 or receives multiple payments for optional cash purchases totaling more than $10,000 in any calendar month and we are not accepting waiver requests or have not granted your waiver request, then the Plan administrator will return the amount that is in excess of $10,000 to you without interest. </font>

If you maintain your participation in the Plan without the dividend reinvestment feature, then the only way you may purchase additional shares through the Plan is through the optional cash purchase feature. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Payment for an optional cash purchase may be made by authorizing an individual automatic deduction from your bank account online through the Investor Center or by sending a check to the Plan administrator for each optional cash purchase. If you choose to submit a check, use the contribution form that appears on your Plan statement and mail it to the Plan administrator at the applicable address provided on the contribution form. The Plan administrator will not accept cash, traveler&#8217;s checks, money orders, or third-party checks. Each check submitted for an optional cash purchase is considered a separate transaction subject to a service fee. </font>

Otherwise, the Plan administrator may hold those funds and invest them beginning on the next Investment Date. No interest will be paid on funds held by the Plan administrator pending investment. Accordingly, you may wish to transmit payment for any optional cash purchases so that they reach the Plan administrator shortly before&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;but not less than three business days before&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;the Investment Date.

The amount owing will include the purchase price paid, any purchase and sale transaction fees, any applicable fees, and the Plan administrator&#8217;s returned check or failed electronic payment fee of $35.

The Plan administrator may combine Plan participant purchase requests with other purchase requests received from other Plan participants and will generally batch purchase types (dividend and optional cash investments) for separate execution by the Plan administrator&#8217;s broker. The Plan administrator may also direct its broker to execute each purchase type in several batches throughout a trading day. Depending on the number of shares being purchased and current trading volume in the shares, the Plan administrator&#8217;s broker may execute purchases for any batch or batches in multiple transactions and over more than one day. If different purchase types are batched, the price per share of the common shares purchased for each participant&#8217;s account, whether purchased with reinvested dividends, initial cash investments, or optional cash investments, will be the weighted average price of the specific batch for such shares purchased by the Plan administrator&#8217;s broker on that Investment Date. For the reinvestment of dividends, purchases on the open market will begin on the Dividend Payment Date and will be completed no later than 30&#160;days from such date for the reinvestment of dividends, except where completion at a later date is necessary or advisable under any applicable federal securities laws. For optional cash investments, purchases on the open market will begin on the Investment Date and will be completed no later than 35&#160;days from such date, except where completion at a later date is necessary or advisable under any applicable federal securities laws. Such purchases may be made on any securities exchange where such shares are traded, in the over-the-counter market, or by negotiated transactions and may be subject to such terms, including with respect to price and delivery, to which the Plan administrator may agree.

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Shares purchased pursuant to an approved waiver request will be purchased directly from us as described in this prospectus. If we grant your waiver request, there will be a pricing period, generally consisting of up to 10 consecutive trading days, as determined by us at our sole discretion. We will indicate the pricing period in your approved waiver request. Each trading day in the pricing period will be a purchase date, and an equal portion of your optional cash investment will be invested on each purchase date. The purchase price on a particular purchase date in the pricing period will be the volume weighted average price, rounded to four decimal places, of our common stock as quoted on The NASDAQ Capital Market obtained from Bloomberg L.P. for the trading hours from 9:30&#160;a.m. to 4:00&#160;p.m. Eastern time (including the closing print). The Plan administrator will apply all optional cash purchases made pursuant to a waiver request for which good funds are received on or before the first business day before the pricing period to the purchase of shares of our common stock on each purchase date. The purchase price may be subject to a &#8220;threshold price&#8221; and may be reduced by the waiver discount,&#8221; each as more fully described below. </font><font style="font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.2pt;">We may alter, amend, supplement, or waive, at our sole discretion, the pricing periods or other parameters relating to optional cash purchases in excess of $10,000 made by one or more participants in the Plan or new investors, at any time prior to the granting of any waiver request</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">For any pricing period, we may establish a minimum purchase price per share, referred to as the &#8220;threshold price,&#8221; applicable to optional cash purchases and initial investments made pursuant to a waiver request. At least one business day prior to the first day of the applicable pricing period, we will decide whether to establish a threshold price, and if so, its amount. We will make this determination at our discretion after a review of current market conditions, the level of participation in the Plan, and current and projected capital needs. </font>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">If a threshold price is established for any pricing period, it will be fixed as a dollar amount that the closing price for each trading day of such pricing period (not adjusted for a waiver discount, if any) must equal or exceed. Except as provided below, we will exclude from the pricing period any trading day that the closing price is less than the threshold price. Thus, for example, for a 10-day pricing period, if the threshold price is not satisfied for two of the 10 trading days in the pricing period, then we will return 20% of the funds you submitted in connection with your waiver request unless we have activated the pricing period extension feature for the pricing period (as described below). </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">We may elect to activate the pricing period extension feature for any particular pricing period. This feature allows the initial pricing period to be extended by the number of days that the threshold price is not satisfied, subject to a maximum of five trading days. If we elect to activate the pricing period extension feature and the threshold price is satisfied for any additional day that has been added to the initial pricing period, that day will be included as one of the trading days for the pricing period in lieu of the day on which the threshold price was not met or trades of our common stock were not quoted on The NASDAQ Capital Market. For example, if the determined pricing period is 10&#160;days, the threshold price is not satisfied for three out of those 10&#160;days in the initial pricing period, and we had previously announced at the time we accepted the waiver request that the pricing period extension feature was activated, then the pricing period will be extended automatically and if the threshold price is satisfied on the next three trading days (or a subset thereof), then those three days (or subset thereof) will become waiver investment dates in lieu of the three days on which the threshold price was not met. As a result, because there were 10 trading days during the initial and extended pricing period on which the threshold price was satisfied, all of the funds you submitted in connection with your waiver request will be invested. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">For each pricing period, we may establish a waiver discount from the market price applicable to optional cash purchases and initial investments made pursuant to a waiver request. This waiver discount, if any, will range from 0% to 5% of the purchase price and may vary for each pricing period. The waiver discount, if any, will be established at our sole discretion after a review of current market conditions, the level of participation in the Plan, the attractiveness of obtaining additional funds through the sale of our common stock as compared to other sources of funds, and current and projected capital needs. You may obtain information regarding the maximum waiver discount, if any, by calling us at 1 (800) 393-5809. Setting a waiver discount for a particular pricing period will not affect the setting of a waiver discount for any subsequent pricing period. Any waiver discount will apply only to optional cash purchases and initial investments in excess of $10,000. </font>

The amount returned will be based on the number of days during which the threshold price was not satisfied (as compared to the number of days in the pricing period or extended pricing period). For example, the returned amount in a 10-day pricing period will equal one-tenth of the total amount of such payment for an optional cash purchase or initial investment (not just the amount in excess of $10,000) for each trading day that the threshold price is not satisfied. </font>

We may waive our right to set a threshold price for any pricing period.

Market order sale requests will be placed promptly upon receipt during market hours (normally 9:30&#160;a.m. to 4:00&#160;p.m. Eastern time). Market order sale requests received by the Plan administrator during market hours are final and cannot be stopped or cancelled. Market order sale requests received outside of market hours will be submitted to the Plan administrator&#8217;s broker on the next day the market is open. The Plan administrator will use commercially reasonable efforts to honor requests by participants to cancel market orders placed outside of market hours. Depending on the number of shares being sold and current trading volume in the shares, a market order may be filled only partially or not filled at all on the trading day in which it is placed, in which case the order or remainder of the order, as applicable, will be cancelled at the end of such day.

All sale requests received in writing will be submitted as batch order sales unless such requests specify otherwise. Batch order sales may only be requested in writing. In each batch order sale, the price to each selling participant shall be the weighted average sale price obtained by the Plan administrator&#8217;s broker for each aggregate order placed by the Plan administrator and executed by the broker, less a service charge of $25.00 and a processing fee of $0.12 per share sold. </font>

First, if an &#8220;interested party&#8221; makes an offer to purchase the shares of some or all of our shareholders, the &#8220;interested party&#8221; must obtain an affirmative opinion in writing as to the fairness of the consideration to our shareholders prior to completing the transaction. California law considers a person to be an &#8220;interested party&#8221; if the person directly or indirectly controls our company, is directly or indirectly controlled by one of our officers or directors, or is an entity in which one of our executive officers or directors holds a material financial interest. If after receiving an offer from such an &#8220;interested party&#8221; we receive a subsequent offer from any other person making an offer or proposal at least 10&#160;days before the vote on the prior &#8220;interested party&#8221; proposal, then we must notify our shareholders of this offer by providing any written materials furnished by the subsequent offeror and afford them the opportunity to withdraw their consent to the &#8220;interested party&#8221; offer. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">For purposes of this discussion, a &#8220;U.S. Holder&#8221; is a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock that is treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as one of the following: (1)&#160;an individual citizen or resident of the United States; (2)&#160;a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (3)&#160;an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or (4)&#160;a trust that (i)&#160;is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons has the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii)&#160;has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">In general, participants reinvesting dividends under the Plan have the same federal income tax consequences with respect to their dividends as do shareowners who are not reinvesting dividends under the Plan. On the Dividend Payment Date, participants will receive a taxable dividend equal to the cash dividend reinvested and any amounts required to be withheld, to the extent we have earnings and profits. This treatment applies with respect to both the shares of common stock held of record by the participant and the participant&#8217;s Plan account shares even though the dividend amount is not actually received in cash but is instead applied to the purchase of shares of common stock for the participant&#8217;s Plan account. To the extent we provide the shares at a discount, you will be treated, for federal income tax purposes, as having received a taxable dividend equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the purchase date over the amount of your reinvested cash dividend, to the extent we have earnings and profits. We will report to you and the IRS (to the extent required by law) the amount of any dividends you receive (or are deemed to receive) for federal income tax purposes. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Shares or any fractional shares of common stock, whether newly issued shares, shares purchased on the open market, or shares purchased in a privately negotiated transaction, with reinvested dividends will have a tax basis equal to the total amount of the cash reinvested, the amount of the taxable dividend you are treated as having received for any shares or fractional shares purchased at a discount (as described above), and the amount of any administrative processing fees (including brokerage fees) paid by you. The holding period for the shares or fractional shares will begin on the day following the purchase date. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Shares or any fractional shares purchased with initial or optional cash purchases will have a tax basis equal to the amount of the payment for the shares increased by the amount of any administrative processing fees (including brokerage fees) paid by you (regardless if the shares or any fractional shares were purchased on the open market, as newly issued shares, or in a privately negotiated transaction). The holding period for the shares or fractional shares will begin on the day following the purchase date. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">For participants who purchase shares under our optional cash purchase plan and receive our shares at a discount, we intend to treat the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares on the Investment Date over the amount of the optional cash purchase made by the participant as a distribution (without regard for participation in the dividend reinvestment portion of our Plan). To the extent paid out of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, we will report these distributions as dividends to you for tax purposes and also to the IRS to the extent required by law. Your tax basis in such shares will include the amount of the discount taxable as a dividend. The holding period for the shares or fractional shares purchased pursuant to a discount will begin on the day following the purchase date. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The tax basis of shares of common stock acquired under the Plan will be reported by our transfer agent in accordance with Treasury Regulations. Because certain aspects of the Plan do not fall within the narrow definition of &#8220;dividend reinvestment plan&#8221; under such regulations, we expect that participants in the Plan will not be able to elect to cause our transfer agent to use cost basis averaging for shares in the Plan. We expect that our transfer agent&#8217;s default method of determining cost basis, which is FIFO&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;First In, First Out, will apply. A participant may designate a preference for specific identification cost basis at the time of sale. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">You will generally recognize a gain or loss when shares of common stock acquired under the Plan (including fractions of a share) are sold by the Plan administrator or by you after withdrawal of the shares from the Plan. The amount of such gain or loss will be equal to the difference between (i)&#160;the amount you receive for the shares, reduced by the expenses of sale (including brokerage commissions and service fees charged for the sale of shares), and (ii)&#160;your tax basis in the shares sold. You also will recognize a gain or loss when you receive cash payments for fractional shares credited to your account upon your withdrawal from the Plan or upon the Plan&#8217;s termination. The amount of such gain or loss will be equal to the difference between (i)&#160;the amount you receive for your fractional shares and (ii)&#160;your tax basis in such fractional shares. In general, any gain or loss from the sale of shares or fractional shares will be a capital gain or loss and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the shares or fractional shares for more than one year. Long-term capital gains of individuals and certain other non-corporate taxpayers are generally eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations. You should consult your tax advisor as to the consequences of a sale of shares in view of your particular circumstances. </font>

The dividends and proceeds received by you, or dividends reinvested on your behalf, will be net of the required taxes.

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Subject to the availability of shares of our common stock registered for issuance under the Plan, there is no maximum number of shares that can be issued pursuant to the reinvestment of dividends or cash investments. From time to time, financial intermediaries, including brokers and dealers, and other persons may engage in positioning transactions in order to benefit from any discounts applicable to investments made under the Plan. Those transactions may cause fluctuations in the trading volume of our common stock. Financial intermediaries and such other persons who engage in positioning transactions may be deemed to be underwriters. We have no arrangements or understandings, formal or informal, with any person relating to the sale of shares of our common stock to be received under the Plan.

In connection with any investment in which the Plan administrator purchases shares in the open market, the participant must pay the processing fees per share purchased. Processing fees include the applicable brokerage commissions that the Plan administrator is required to pay. Upon withdrawal by a participant from the Plan by the sale of shares of our common stock held under the Plan, the participant will receive the proceeds of that sale less the applicable brokerage commission (currently $0.12 per share), a service charge of $25.00 (subject to change at any time), and any required tax withholdings or transfer taxes. </font>
