(the "Company") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") a prospectus supplement, dated July
28, 2017, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "ATM Prospectus"), relating to the
offer and sale of common shares remaining unsold under the Company's existing at-the-market equity offering program. The ATM Prospectus

on Form S-3. An opinion of Ballard Spahr LLP with respect to the validity of common shares that may be offered and sold pursuant
