Item 8.01. Other Events

The adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company's stockholders satisfies one of the conditions to the closing of the Merger. The closing of the Merger remains subject to other customary closing conditions, including receipt of approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (the "CFIUS Approval"). The CFIUS Approval is the only outstanding regulatory approval required for the closing of the Merger. The Company expects the Merger to be completed in the third quarter of 2021.
