The foregoing description of the First Amendment is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Sellers Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 5, 2020 and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
