~~This~~Advisory ~~Current~~vote ~~Report~~ on Form 8-K contains certain “forward-looking statements” that are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events to differ materially from those discussed herein. These statements, which are generally identifiable by the ~~use~~frequency of ~~the~~future ~~words~~advisory ~~"will,"~~votes ~~"believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan" and similar expressions, are based~~ on ~~the~~executive beliefs and assumptions of management based on information available to the Company at the time such statements are made. Also, please refer to the risks and factors disclosed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K fot the year ended December 31, 2024, and the other filings the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission for additional factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ from these forward looking statements. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. The Company cautions that undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made, to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, or otherwise unless required under the federal securities laws.compensation:
