Pursuant to the Amendment, the total number of shares of the Registrant’s common stock available for grant and issuance under the Plan increased by 225,000 shares. Additionally, the Registrant is registering 10,000 shares that were authorized under the Plan in the Prior Registration Statement. Accordingly, the content of the Prior Registration Statements are incorporated herein by reference pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8.
