Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact could be deemed forward-looking, including without limitation statements regarding anticipated employment and compensation arrangements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “toward,” “will,” or “would,” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that may cause actual results or outcomes to be materially different from any future results or outcomes expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors include the risks described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Commission, including in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Commission on February 28, 2025. You should not rely on forward-looking


statements as predictions of future events. The Company has based these forward-looking statements primarily on information available to it as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and its current expectations and projections about future events and trends that it believes may affect its business, financial condition, and results of operations. While the Company believes such information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. The Company’s statements should not be read to indicate that it has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks may emerge from time to time. It is not possible for the Company to predict all risks, nor can the Company assess the impact of all factors on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements it may make. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation, and does not intend, to update these forward-looking statements.
