In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriter a 45-day option (the “Overallotment Option”) to purchase up to 1,636,363 additional shares of Common Stock. The Overallotment Option was exercised in full on July 22, 2020.

The Underwriting Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company that are customary for transactions of this type. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company and its executive officers and directors have entered into agreements providing that the Company and each of these persons may not, without the prior written approval of the Underwriter, subject to limited exceptions, offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Company’s securities for a period of 90 days following the date of the Underwriting Agreement.
