| Amendment Description | This Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2025 (the “Original Filing”), is being filed for the following purposes: (a) to present the information required by Items 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 of Part III of the Original Filing, which had previously been omitted in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which provides that registrants may incorporate by reference certain information from a definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC within 120 days after fiscal year end. The Company is filing this Amendment to add this information because the definitive proxy statement containing this information will not be filed within 120 days after fiscal year end; (b) to replace the Certification of Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer filed pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) of the Exchange Act as Exhibit 31.1 to the Original Filing; and (c) to replace the Certification of Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer furnished pursuant to Rule 13a-14(b) as Exhibit 32.1 to the Original Filing. Due to an administrative error, the EDGAR versions of Exhibits 31.1 and 32.1 did not include a conformed signature of the officers on the certifications. New Certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are filed and furnished herewith as Exhibits 31.1 and 32.1 hereto. Except as described above, this Amendment does not modify or update disclosure in, or exhibits to, the Original Filing, and such disclosure in, or exhibits to, the Original Filing remain unchanged and speak as of the date of the filing of the Original Filing. In particular, the Amendment does not change any previously reported financial results, nor does it reflect events occurring after the date of the Original Filing. | |
