On August 10, 2022, KLDiscovery Inc. ("
KLDiscovery
" or the "
Company
") issued a press release reporting its financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2022. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The information furnished with this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Forward Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this current report on Form 8-K other than statements of historical facts, including, without limitation, statements regarding KLDiscovery's future financial and business performance, attractiveness of KLDiscovery's product offerings and platform and the value proposition of KLDiscovery's products, are forward-looking statements. When used in this current report on Form 8-K, the words "estimates," "projected," "expects," "anticipates," "forecasts," "plans," "intends," "believes," "seeks," "may," "will," "should," "future," "propose" and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are not guarantees
of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside KLDiscovery's management's control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors, among others, that may affect actual results or outcomes include: the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; KLDiscovery's ability to execute on its plans to develop and market new products, such as Nebula, and the timing of these development programs; KLDiscovery's estimates of the size of the markets for its solutions; the rate and degree of market acceptance of KLDiscovery's solutions; the success of other competing technologies that may become available; KLDiscovery's ability to identify and integrate acquisitions; the performance and security of KLDiscovery's services; potential litigation involving KLDiscovery; general economic conditions and cyclical nature of certain markets impacting demand for KLDiscovery's services; KLDiscovery's substantial levels of indebtedness;
changes in complex laws and regulations in the U.S. and internationally;
and
volatility in the trading price of KLDiscovery common stock and warrants
.
These risks and other factors discussed in the "Risk Factors" section of KLDiscovery's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 17, 2022, and any other reports KLDiscovery files with the SEC could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements made by KLDiscovery or on our behalf.
Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. All statements speak only as of the date made, and unless legally required, KLDiscovery undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
