Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

The distribution of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the offering of the Securities in certain jurisdictions may
be restricted by law. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute an offer, or an invitation on our behalf or on behalf of the underwriters or any of them, to subscribe to or purchase any of the Securities, and may
not be used for or in connection with an offer or solicitation by anyone, in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorized or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation.

In connection with the issue of the Securities, HSI as the stabilization manager (or any person acting on behalf of it) may, to the extent
permitted by laws or regulations, over-allot the Securities or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Securities at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilization may not necessarily
occur. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the Securities is made and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after
the Issue Date and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the Securities. Any stabilization action or over-allotment must be conducted by HSI as the relevant stabilization manager (or any person acting on behalf of it) in accordance with all
applicable laws and rules.
