Forward-Looking Statements

 

This communication contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or the Company’s future financial performance. The Company generally identifies forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar words. These statements are only predictions. The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on its then-current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends as well as the beliefs and assumptions of management. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to: (i) risks associated with the timing of the closing of the proposed Offer and Merger, including the risks that a condition to closing would not be satisfied or that any of the committed financing will not be available within the expected timeframe or at all or that the closing of the proposed Offer or Merger will not occur; (ii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties and others related to the Merger Agreement; (iii) unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to the proposed Offer or the Merger, the response of business partners and competitors to the announcement of the proposed Offer or the Merger, and/or potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the announcement and pendency of the proposed Offer or the Merger; and (iv) those risks detailed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent reports filed with the SEC, including its Current Reports on Form 8-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, including for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, and any other documents that may be filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC. Accordingly, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The Company cannot assure you that the events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made in this communication relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
