The Company may from time-to-time issue and sell shares of its common stock through public or At-The-Market ("ATM") offerings. The Company currently sells shares through its equity distribution agreement with JMP Securities LLC (“JMP”) and Jefferies LLC (“Jeffries”) (the “2022 Equity Distribution Agreement”). The 2022 Equity Distribution Agreement provides that the Company may offer and sell up to 17.5 million shares of its common stock from time to time through JMP or Jeffries, as its sales agents. Sales of the Company’s common stock, if any, may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market,” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including sales made directly on the NYSE or similar securities exchange or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, at prices related to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The Company issued and sold the following shares of common stock during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020:
