The Amendment is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Report on Form 6-K, and the description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit. The Amendment is filed with reference to, and is hereby incorporated by reference into, the Registration Statement. The Company previously filed the Original Agreement as Exhibit 1.1 to its Report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on November 30, 2018.

 

A copy of the opinion of Conyers Dill & Pearman Limited, relating to the legality of the common shares to be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement and Registration Statement, is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Report on Form 6-K and is filed with reference to, and is hereby incorporated by reference into, the Registration Statement.
