InThis ~~connection~~current ~~with~~report on Form 8-K and the ~~implementation~~2025 Q2 Status Report filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the ~~Receivership~~Private ~~Order~~Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “will,” “intend,” ~~each~~“expect,” “seek,” “potential,” “estimate,” “assume,” “believe,” “could,” and the negative forms of ~~Walter~~these ~~Bishop~~words and ~~Jane~~similar ~~Kanter~~expressions ~~ceased~~that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, ~~serve~~statements regarding asthe ~~directors~~issuance of ~~Highline~~distributions, maintenance of cash reserves of the entities in receivership, and the status of the claims solicitation and resolution procedure for the Partnership’s investors and claimholders. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Partnership, are inherently uncertain. Although the Partnership believes that the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Any or all forward-looking statements the Partnership or the Receiver makes may turn out to be wrong and can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they were made.
