The Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 constitutes a post-effective amendment to the following four registrations statements (collectively, the “Initial Registration Statements”): (i) the registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-271268) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 14, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on May 9, 2023 (the “RRA Registration Statement”); (ii) the registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-271266) filed by the Company with the SEC on April 14, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on May 9, 2023 (the “Primary Registration Statement”); (iii) the registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-270541) filed by the Company with the SEC on March 14, 2023 (the “SPA Registration Statement”), as amended by pre-effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-3, filed with the SEC on April 12, 2023, and declared effective by the SEC on May 4, 2023 (the “SPA Registration Statement Amendment”); and (iv) the registration statement on Form S-3, filed with the SEC on March 19, 2021, and declared effective by the SEC on April 1, 2021 (the “2021 Registration Statement”).
