 common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.

The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of the sale of substantial amounts of our common stock, particularly sales directly by us or by our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders, a large number of shares of our common stock becoming available for sale or the perception in the market that holders of a large number of shares intend to sell their shares. 

At March 31, 2025, approximately 87.5 million shares of our common stock were outstanding. In addition, as of March 31, 2025, there were 1.3 million shares underlying options, 7.9 million shares underlying restricted stock units and 5.5 million shares underlying performance stock units, and we have additional shares reserved for issuance under our equity incentive plans.

If these additional shares are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold in the public market, the trading price of our stock could decline. Under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, shares held by non-affiliates for more than six months may generally be sold without restriction, other than a current public information requirement, and may be sold

If we do so, we will prepare and file with the SEC a prospectus supplement containing specific information about the terms of the offering.

Future sales of shares by existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.
