Material Changes

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

- Execution: Sales will be made based on the Company's instructions and market conditions, utilizing the Company's automatic shelf registration statement (File No. 333-279692).
- Risks: The filing notes that sales are subject to customary terms and conditions and that the report does not constitute an offer to sell in jurisdictions where such an offer would be unlawful.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current share price and trading volume to assess the potential dilution impact of the $250 million ATM facility.
- Review the Company's most recent 10-Q or 10-K to determine current cash runway and burn rate, as this 8-K does not contain balance sheet data.
- Confirm the status of the terminated prior agreement to ensure no outstanding obligations remain with the former agents.
- Monitor future filings for actual sales volumes and proceeds generated under the new Cantor Fitzgerald/RBC agreement.
