EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on January 26, 2018, File No. 333-222740, is hereby incorporated by reference. By such Registration Statement, the Company registered 3,500,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("
Common Stock
"), that were reserved for awards granted under the Company's 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Company's 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "
2018 Plan
").
On May 8, 2020, the board of directors of the Company approved an amendment to the 2018 Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance thereunder from 1,607,389 shares to 4,607,389 shares, an increase of 3,000,000 shares (the "
2020 Plan Amendment
"), which was approved by the stockholders on July 1, 2020 at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC on November 6, 2020, File No. 333-249929, is hereby incorporated by reference. By such Registration Statement, the Company registered 3,000,000 additional shares of its Common Stock pursuant to the 2020 Plan Amendment.
On April 28, 2022, the board of directors of the Company approved an amendment to the 2018 Plan, as amended by the 2020 Plan Amendment, to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance thereunder from 4,607,389 shares to 9,607,389 shares, an increase of 5,000,000 shares (the "
2022 Plan Amendment
"), subject to stockholder approval at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. On July 1, 2022, the stockholders approved the 2022 Plan Amendment. This Registration Statement is to register the additional 5,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, therefore increasing the total pool of shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to the 2022 Plan Amendment to 9,607,389 million shares.
