These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk
Factors” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment and industry. New risks may also
emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all of the risks related to our business and operations, nor can we assess the impact of all
factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statements we may make. The achievement or success of the matters covered by such forward-looking statements involves significant risks,
uncertainties and assumptions. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated, predicted or implied in the forward-looking
statements.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-
looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-
looking statements will be achieved or occur, and reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those described in the section titled “Risk Factors.” Except as required by law, we undertake no
obligation to update any forward-looking statements for any reason to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.
