On September 23, 2020, the Company increased the maximum amount of Shares to be sold through the ATM Program to $150,000,000 from $50,000,000. In connection with the upsize of the ATM Program to $150,000,000, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the At-the-Market Sales Agreement, dated September 23, 2020 ("Amendment No. 1").
