SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

Information about selling security holders and the terms of the securities offered for resale, where applicable, will be set forth in a
prospectus supplement, in a post-effective amendment or in filings we make with the SEC under the Exchange Act that are incorporated into this prospectus by reference. Selling security holders may be deemed to be underwriters in connection with the
securities they resell and any profits on the resale may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The selling security holders will receive all the proceeds from the resale of our securities. We will not
receive any proceeds from resales by selling security holders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Sales by Us

We may sell the securities
being offered by this prospectus in one or more of the following ways from time to time: (1) through underwriters or dealers; (2) through agents; (3) in “at the market offerings” to or through a market maker or into an
existing trading market or securities exchange or otherwise; (4) directly to purchasers or shareholders, (5) through a combination of any of these methods of sale or (6) through any other legally available means. In addition, the
sales will be made at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed or at negotiated prices. We will identify any underwriter, dealer or agent
involved in the offer and sale of securities, and any applicable commissions, discounts and other items constituting compensation to such underwriters, dealers or agents, in a prospectus supplement.

The methods by which we may distribute securities include:

 agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;            |

| • |     | purchases by a dealer as principal and resale by such dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus or any 
 prospectus supplement;                                                                                          |

| • |     | ordinary broker transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; or |

| • |     | any other legally available means. |
