Stockholders of record at the close of business on April 26, 2021 and only such stockholders will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting. The time and location of the 2021 Annual Meeting will be as set forth in the Company&#8217;s proxy statement for the 2021 Annual Meeting.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt;">Because the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting differs by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the Company&#8217;s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders, which was held on August 6, 2020, the deadline for submission of any stockholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#8220;Exchange Act&#8221;), and the deadlines for any stockholder to submit a nominee to serve as director or to submit a proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Company&#8217;s proxy materials outside of Rule 14a-8, as set forth in the Company&#8217;s proxy statement, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;) on June 15, 2020, no longer apply. Pursuant to the Company&#8217;s bylaws (the &#8220;Bylaws&#8221;) and Rule 14a-5(f) of the Exchange Act, the Company is hereby providing notice of the revised deadlines for such proposals by means of this report.</p>

<p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt;">In accordance with the Company&#8217;s Bylaws, because the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting will be more than 20 days from the anniversary of the Company&#8217;s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders, in order for a stockholder entitled to vote to bring a proposal or submit nominee for director at the 2021 Annual Meeting, notice by the stockholder must be received no earlier than the 90th day prior to the 2021 Annual Meeting date and not later than the later of (i) the 60th day prior to the 2021 Annual Meeting, or (ii) the 10<sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;font-size:pt">th</sup> day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting is first made.
