Morgan Securities LLC (collectively, the “Agents”) relating to the offer and sale of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to replenish shares previously sold under the equity distribution agreement. Accordingly, the Company will have the ability, from time to time in accordance with the terms of the equity distribution agreement, to offer and sell additional shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $400,000,000 (the “Shares”) through the Agents as sales agents, or directly to the Agents acting as principal.
