• through brokers or dealers;

• through a block trade in which the broker or dealer engaged to handle the block trade will attempt to sell the securities as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

• directly by us or any selling security holders to purchasers, including through a specific bidding, auction, or other process; or

We will describe in a prospectus supplement the particular terms of the offering of the securities, which may include the following:

• the purchase price of the securities and the net proceeds, if any, we will receive from the sale;

• any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation;

• any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers;

• details regarding any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us or any selling security holders;

• any securities exchanges on which the securities of the series may be listed; and

• any other information we think is material.
