- Maximum Offering Size: Up to $500,000,000 in aggregate gross sales price of common stock.
- Commission: Agents will receive a commission not exceeding 2% of the gross sales price of shares sold.

Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The new agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Prior Agreement dated November 5, 2019 (as amended in 2020). The primary material change is the authorization of an additional $500 million in share sales capacity, exclusive of any shares sold under the prior agreement. The filing does not provide comparative financial data or operational changes for the period.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary and Outlook: The Company is not obligated to sell any shares under the agreement and provides no assurances that it will do so. The agreement allows for flexible capital raising from time to time based on market conditions and the Company's discretion.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing includes standard forward-looking statement disclaimers. Actual results may differ due to market conditions, satisfaction of pre-sale conditions, and inherent business risks. The agreement will terminate upon the sale of all authorized shares or earlier termination by the Company or Agents.
