SECTION 1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES
(a) Agreement to Purchase Firm Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees to issue and sell to each of the several Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, the respective number of Firm Shares set forth opposite such Underwriter's name in Schedule I hereto. The total number of Firm Shares to be sold by the Company is 6,557,377 shares of Common Stock. The purchase price per Firm Share to be paid by each Underwriter to the Company shall be $26.352 per share (which is equal to the public offering price of $27.45 per share less the underwriting discount of $1.098 per share, representing 4.0% of the public offering price). The aggregate purchase price for all Firm Shares shall be approximately $172,800,000 (subject to rounding based on the exact number of shares). The obligation of each Underwriter to purchase its respective allotment of Firm Shares shall be several and not joint, and no Underwriter shall be obligated to purchase any Firm Shares allocated to a defaulting Underwriter, except as provided in Section 10 hereof.
(b) Over-Allotment Option. The Company hereby grants to the several Underwriters an option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), exercisable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time during the thirty (30) calendar day period commencing on the date of the Final Prospectus Supplement, to purchase up to 983,606 additional shares of Common Stock (the "Option Shares") at the same purchase price per share as applies to the Firm Shares, as set forth in Section 1(a) above.

If any Option Shares are to be purchased, each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall purchase the number of Option Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Representative may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Option Shares to be purchased as the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto bears to the total number of Firm Shares. The maximum number of Shares (Firm Shares and Option Shares combined) that may be issued in the offering is 7,540,983 shares. The maximum aggregate gross proceeds of the offering, assuming full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, are approximately $207,000,000.
(c) Payment and Delivery — Firm Shares. Payment for and delivery of the Firm Shares shall take place at the offices of Calderwood & Harkness LLP, 7 Times Square, 38th Floor, New York, NY 10036, at 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on October 31, 2025, or at such other time and place as the Representative and the Company may agree in writing (the "Closing Date"). Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as the Company shall designate in writing to the Representative not later than two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, against delivery of the Firm Shares in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters. The aggregate payment to be made by the Underwriters on the Closing Date shall equal the purchase price per Firm Share multiplied by the total number of Firm Shares. The Company shall cause Continental Share Services, Inc., as Transfer Agent and registrar for the Common Stock, to make the Firm Shares available for checking at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the Closing Date at the above offices of Calderwood & Harkness LLP or at the offices of DTC or its designated custodian.

Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as the Company shall designate, against delivery of the Option Shares in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters. The delivery mechanics for the Option Shares shall be identical in all respects to those described in Section 1(c) above for the Firm Shares.
