This prospectus is part of
a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) using the
“shelf” registration process. Under the shelf registration process, we may from time to time sell the securities described
in this prospectus in one or more offerings.

This prospectus provides you
with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we sell securities under this prospectus in a manner not described
herein, we will provide you with a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of the securities offered
and the offering and the means of distribution. A prospectus supplement may include other special considerations applicable to such offering
of securities. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information in this prospectus. If there is any inconsistency
between the information in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in the prospectus supplement.
We urge you to carefully read this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus relating to the specific
issue of securities, together with the information described under the headings “Where You Can Find Additional Information”
and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference”, and the other documents that are incorporated by reference into this
prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement before you invest in our securities.

The prospectus supplement
will describe: the terms of the securities offered, any initial public offering price, the price paid to us for the securities, the net
proceeds to us, the manner of distribution and any underwriting compensation and the other specific material terms related to the offering
of the applicable securities. For more detail on the terms of the securities, you should read the exhibits filed with or incorporated
by reference in our registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. References to “securities” include any security
that we might sell under this prospectus or any prospectus supplement.

This prospectus contains summaries
of certain provisions of certain documents described herein, but reference is made to the actual documents for complete information. All
of the summaries are qualified in their entirety by the actual documents. Copies of some of the documents referred to herein have been
filed, will be filed or will be incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part,
