For purposes of calculating the aggregate market value of shares held by non-affiliates, we have assumed that all outstanding shares are held by non-affiliates, except for shares held by each of our executive officers, directors and 5% or greater stockholders. In the case of 5% or greater stockholders, we have not deemed such stockholders to be affiliates unless there are facts and circumstances which would indicate that such stockholders exercise any control over our company, or unless they hold 10% or more of our outstanding common stock. These assumptions should not be deemed to constitute an admission that all executive officers, directors and 5% or greater stockholders are, in fact, affiliates of our company, or that there are not other persons who may be deemed to be affiliates of our company. Further information concerning shareholdings of our officers, directors and principal stockholders is incorporated by reference in Part III, Item 12 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As of March 28, 2022, there were 34,087,244 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Registrant is filing this Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (“Amendment No. 1”) to correct:

(a) an error in “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence” of the original Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2022 (the “Original Form 10-K”); and

(b) certain errors on the cover page of the Original Form 10-K.

Item 13. of the Original Form 10-K incorrectly referenced that the information required by such Item would be included under the headings “Voting Rights and Principal Stockholders” and “Equity Compensation Plan Information” in the Registrant’s 2022 Proxy Statement, instead of under the headings “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” and “Corporate Governance” - “Director Independence”. The cover page of the Original Form 10-K had the “No” checkbox checked for both the statement as to whether the Registrant (1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the Registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days; and whether the Registrant has submitted electronically every Interactive Data File required to be submitted pursuant to Rule 405 of Regulation S-T during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the Registrant was required to submit and post such files), each of which checkboxes should have been checked “yes”.

No changes are hereby made to the Registrant’s financial statements. Other than the changes discussed above and the filing of the currently dated Section 302 certifications and updated XBRL data under Item 15 of Part IV of this Amendment No. 1, no changes have been made to the Original Form 10-K or the exhibits filed therewith. As such, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K. The information contained in this Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-K.

Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment No. 1 also contains a new certification for our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 attached hereto. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 1 does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 have been omitted from such certification. The Registrant is not including certifications pursuant to Section 1350 of Chapter 63 of Title 18 of the United States Code (18 U.S.C. 1350) as no financial statements are being filed with this Amendment No. 1.

PART III

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

The information required by this Item is included under the headings “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” and “Corporate Governance” - “Director Independence” in the Company’s 2022 Proxy Statement to be filed with the SEC within 120 days after December 31, 2021 and is incorporated herein by reference.
