LLC, as the representative of the several underwriters named in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Underwriters 7,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share with an offering price to the public of $20.33 per share. The Underwriting Agreement also granted the Underwriters an option (the “Option”) to purchase up to an additional 1,080,000 shares (the “Option Shares”) during the 30-day period following the execution of the Underwriting Agreement with the same offering price per share to the public.

On February 25, 2019, the Underwriters fully exercised the Option to purchase from the Company all of the Option Shares. On February 27, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the Option Shares.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Option Shares to acquire additional target assets as market conditions warrant and for general corporate purposes.
