The Company will continue to comply with all other requirements of the Exchange Act, including, but not limited to, Section 14A regarding the solicitation of proxies. In conformity with the provisions of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 2, on August 13, 2020, the Company filed under cover of a Current Report on Form 8-K its initial monthly operating report filed with the Bankruptcy Court (“MOR”) on August 7, 2020, and will file all future MORs under cover of a Current Report on Form 8-K in lieu of filing its annual and quarterly reports under the Exchange Act.

The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Initial Monthly Operating Report, which was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company. The Initial Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court. The Initial Monthly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, was not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws or rules, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company’s securities, the Initial Monthly Operating Report is complete. Results set forth in the Initial Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Form 8-K and the Monthly Operating Report may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. The Company may also make forward-looking statements in other reports filed with the SEC, in press releases, in presentations and in material delivered to the Company’s stakeholders, including creditors and shareholders. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on management’s assumptions and assessments in light of past experience and trends, current economic and industry conditions, expected future developments, and other relevant factors. These statements encompass information that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact and often may be identified with words such as “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “intend” and other similar expressions.

Risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company’s operations and performance include, among others: risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 Proceedings; the effects of public health emergencies, including the COVID-19 pandemic; risks and uncertainties related to, and the impact of, cyber security threats and increased costs;

an overall decline in the health of the U.S. economy and its impact on consumer confidence and spending; the Company’s access to adequate operating cash flow, trade credit, borrowed funds and capital to fund its operations and pay its obligations as they become due; risks related to the Company’s dependence on technology in the operation of its business; failure to protect consumer data; risks related to cybersecurity and e-commerce related fraud; factors beyond the Company’s control, including general economic and market conditions, fluctuations in the Company’s financial condition; and regulatory and legal risks.

The Company assumes no obligation to update or otherwise revise its forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied will not be realized. Additional information concerning these risks and uncertainties is contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC.
