on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on January 3, 2022 and March 29, 2022; and

In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, on or after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under Sections 851 et. seq. of the Maine Business Corporation Act, and except to the extent broader indemnification is authorized by a corporation’s articles of incorporation, a corporation generally may indemnify an individual who is a party
to a proceeding because that individual is a director of the corporation against liability incurred in the proceeding if the individual’s conduct was in good faith and the individual reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in the individual’s capacity as director, that the individual’s conduct was in the best interests of the corporation (or participants in an employee benefit plan of the corporation with respect to service thereto); (ii) in all other cases, that the individual’s conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe the individual’s conduct was unlawful. Unless ordered by a court to do so, however, a corporation may not indemnify one of its directors (1) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if it is determined that the
director has met the relevant standard of conduct set forth above; or (2) in connection with any proceeding with respect to conduct for which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that the director received a financial benefit to which the director was not entitled, whether or not involving action in the director’s official capacity. Under the Maine Business Corporation Act, a corporation shall indemnify a director who was
2
wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the director was a party because the director was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding. Under the Maine Business Corporation Act, a corporation generally
may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding because that officer is an officer of the corporation to the same extent as a director and, in the case of an officer who is not a director, to such further extent as may be provided the corporation’s articles of incorporation, bylaws, a resolution of the corporation’s Board of Directors or a contract, except no indemnification may be made to such a person for (1) liability in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation other than for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding or (2) liability arising out of conduct that constitutes (a) receipt by the officer of a
financial benefit to which the officer is not entitled; (b) an intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or its shareholders; or (c) an intentional violation of criminal law.
Section 10.1 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws provides that the Company shall indemnify any director for liability to any person or for any action taken or for any failure to take an action as a director except liability for (i) receipt of a financial benefit to which the director is not entitled, (ii) an intentional infliction of harm on the Company or its shareholders, (iii) an intentional violation
of criminal law, or (iv) a violation of Section 833 of the Maine Business Corporation Act. Section 10.2 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws also provides that the Company may indemnify, in whole or in part, any officer of the Company for liability to any person or for action taken or any failure to take an action as an officer except liability for (i) receipt of a financial benefit to which the officer is not entitled, (ii) an intentional infliction of harm on the Company or its shareholders, or (iii) an intentional violation of criminal
law. Under the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, the decision as to whether the Company will indemnify an officer for said liability and, if so, to what extent, shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors within a reasonable period of time of having received a written request for indemnification from the officer.
The Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance in amounts and on terms which the
Company’s Board of Directors deems reasonable. In the ordinary course of business, the Company’s Board of Directors regularly reviews the scope and adequacy of such insurance coverage.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The exhibits listed below represent a complete list of exhibits filed or incorporated by reference as part of this Registration Statement.
(1)To 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 of 1933;
3
(ii)To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 this 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 20% 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 this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)That, 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)To
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 Company’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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 this 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 Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Company 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, the Company 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 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.
