- Monitor whether the underwriters exercise the 30-day over-allotment option for an additional 6,411,633 shares.
- Review the final prospectus supplement dated June 11, 2024, for complete terms of the securities issued.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the termination of the Direct Offering if it fails to close by June 17, 2024.
