Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K, and the documents referred to herein, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We have used the words “approximately,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will” and similar terms and phrases to identify forward-looking statements. All of our forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we are expecting, including:

•risks related to the consummation of the Merger, including the risks that (i) the Merger may not be consummated within the anticipated time period, or at all and (ii) other conditions to the consummation of the Merger under the Merger Agreement may not be satisfied;

•the effects that any termination of the Merger Agreement may have on the Company or its business, including the risks that the Company’s stock price may decline significantly if the Merger is not completed, which may have a chilling effect on alternatives to the Merger;

•the risk that a condition to closing of the Merger may not be satisfied;

•the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; and

•additional factors discussed in our filings with the SEC.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are based on management’s current plans, estimates and expectations in light of information currently available to the Company and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those that the Company has anticipated. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to changes in global, regional or local political, economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, as well as the other factors described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s 2021 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022. The COVID-19 pandemic may also precipitate or exacerbate these and other unknown risks and uncertainties. Additional factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may also emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of our assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual results may vary in material respects from what we may have expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable securities laws.
