Amendment No. 1 to
Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed November 2,
2020
File No. 333-249648
Dear Mr. Petras:
We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have
the following
comment. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with
information so we may
better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration
statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comment applies to your
facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell
us why in your
response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and
the information you
provide in response to the comment, we may have additional comments.
Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1
Exhibits
1. We note your
disclosures in the prospectus stating that your amended and restated
certificate of
incorporation provides that derivative actions will be brought in the Court of
Chancery, or any state
or federal court located within the State of Delaware if the Court of
Chancery does not have
jurisdiction. However, the exclusive forum provision set forth in
your Exhibit 3.1 does
not include the reference to a federal court if the Court of Chancery
does not have
jurisdiction. Please revise to clarify whether this provision applies to
actions
arising under the
Exchange Act, and please also ensure that the exclusive forum provision
in the governing
documents states this clearly, or tell us how you will inform investors in
future filings that the
provision does not apply to any actions arising under the Exchange
Act.
