Material Changes
The primary material change is the execution of an Underwriting Agreement with Barclays Capital Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and RBC Capital Markets, LLC. The full exercise of the over-allotment option increases the capital raise compared to the initial base offering.
