Material Changes
The primary material change is the execution of an underwriting agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Jefferies LLC, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, and Guggenheim Securities, LLC. This agreement facilitates the sale of new equity to the public, significantly increasing the company's cash resources compared to its pre-offering state.
