 of common stock sold in these offerings will be freely tradable. In the event such registration rights are exercised and a large number of shares of common stock is sold, such sales could reduce the trading price of our common stock. These sales also could impede our ability to raise future capital.

We have also registered on Form S-8 all shares of common stock that are issuable under our 2024 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. As a consequence, these shares can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance.
