Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment”) reflects changes to the information in the Schedule 13D relating to the Common Stock of the Issuer filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on October 17, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on June 7, 2017 and Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Amendment”) to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on August 18, 2020 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Each capitalized term used and not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Item of the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.
On August 2, 2021, the Issuer entered into an underwriting agreement with Maxim Group LLC, as representative of the underwriters (the “Underwriter”), relating to a firm commitment underwritten offering of 1,333,310 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (including an over-allotment option granted to the Underwriter to purchase 173,910 shares). The offering was made pursuant to the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-257036), initially filed on June 11, 2021, as amended from time to time, which was declared effective on August 2, 2021 (the “August O ffering”). The August Offering, including the full exercise of the over-allotment option, closed on August 5, 2021.
Additionally, on October 14, 2021, the Issuer entered into an underwriting agreement with the Underwriter, relating to a firm commitment underwritten offering of 1,552,500 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (including an over-allotment option for the Underwriter to purchase 202,500 shares of Common Stock). The offering was made pursuant to the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-260063) filed on October 5, 2021, which was declared effective on October 14, 2021 (the “October Offering”). A preliminary prospectus supplement was filed with the Commission on October 14, 2021, and a final prospectus supplement was filed with the Commission on October 18, 2021.

The August Offering and October Offering resulted in a decrease of over one percent (1%) in the aggregate percentage ownership reported by the Reporting Persons in the Second Amendment.
This Amendment is being filed to update the aggregate percentage of Common Stock of the Issuer owned by the Reporting Persons due to the issuance of additional Common Stock by the Issuer in the August Offering and October Offering.
