    <ffd:OfferingNote contextRef="offrl_1" id="ixv-456">The proposed maximum aggregate offering price is being used to calculate the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(o) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On March 28, 2025, the registrant filed a prospectus (the "Prospectus") with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of its registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-286230) (the "Registration Statement"), relating to the offer and sale of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000,000 pursuant to the terms of a sales agreement. On January 13, 2026, the registrant amended the Prospectus pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Prospectus to increase the aggregate offering price by $300,000,000, excluding the $250,000,000 previously registered. The registrant is now amending the Prospectus pursuant to Amendment No. 2 to Prospectus to increase the aggregate offering price by an additional $500,000,000, excluding the $550,000,000 previously registered. The fee is calculated in accordance with Rule 456(b) and Rule 457(r) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This "Calculation of Registration Fee" table shall be deemed to update the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the registrant's Registration Statement.</ffd:OfferingNote>
