Pursuant to Rule 416(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of the Registrant’s common stock that become issuable under the 2020 Equity
Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2020 ESPP”) and the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction
effected without receipt of consideration that increases the number of the Registrant’s outstanding shares of common stock.
|

Represents 5,806,039 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan as of the date of this Registration Statement, which includes 5,218,000 shares approved for issuance under the 2020 Plan plus 588,039 shares of common
stock that were reserved but not issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2018 Plan that are not subject to any awards granted thereunder. As of the date hereof, 121,503 shares of common stock are subject to options outstanding under the
2020 Plan. The number of shares of common stock available under the 2020 Plan will be increased by any shares of common stock subject to awards outstanding under the 2018 Plan, that on or after the effectiveness of the 2020 Plan, expire or
otherwise terminate without having been exercised in full, are tendered to or withheld by the Registrant for payment of an exercise price or for tax withholding obligations, or are forfeited to or repurchased by the Registrant due to failure
to vest. The maximum number of shares that can be added to the 2020 Plan from the 2018 Plan is 6,669,017. See footnote 6 below.

Item 9. |
Undertakings.
|
A. |
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
|
(1) |
It will file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
|
(i) |
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
|
(ii) |
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
|
(iii) |
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.
|
(2) |
For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
|
(3) |
It will remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
|
B. |
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
|
C. |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions referenced in Item 6 of this Registration Statement,
or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
