Pursuant to Rule 416(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "
Securities Act
"), this Registration Statement covers any additional shares of the Registrant's common stock ("
Common Stock
") that become issuable in respect of the securities identified in the table above by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the Registrant's receipt of consideration that results in an increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(2)
Estimated in accordance with Rules 457(c) and (h) solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee on the basis of 85% of $623.29 per share, which is the average of the high and low prices of Common Stock, as reported on The Nasdaq Global Market on July 28, 2021. Pursuant to the ESPP, the purchase price of the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance thereunder will be at least 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of Common Stock on (a) the offering date or (b) the purchase date (as such terms are defined in the ESPP).
(3)
The amount of the registration fee is calculated pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Securities Act, which currently provides that the filing fee rate shall be "$109.10 per $1 million" of the maximum aggregate price at which such securities are proposed to be offered. The Registration Fee is therefore calculated by multiplying the Proposed Maximum Aggregate Offering Price by 0.0001091.
