Any statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K that refer to events that may occur in the future or other non-historical matters are forward-looking statements. These statements generally are characterized by the use of terms such as &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;predict,&#8221; &#8220;believe&#8221; and &#8220;expect&#8221; or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company&#8217;s expectations as of the date of this report and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of the following factors, among others: (1) conditions to the closing of the transaction may not be satisfied; (2) the transaction may involve unexpected costs, unexpected liabilities or unexpected delays; and (3) the failure of the transaction to close for any other reason. Given these uncertainties, the Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance on such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.</p>
