Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Form 8-K”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are identified by words such as “plans,” “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “may,” “believes,” “estimates” or “estimated, “intends,” and other similar words, expressions, and formulations. This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements regarding the Company’s ability to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, the Company’s intentions to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and the Company’s plans to consider implementing available options, including a reverse stock split, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, and the Company’s intention to appeal any future delisting determination. The Company’s actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties, including the risk that the Company may not meet the Bid Price Rule during any compliance period or in the future, the risk that the Company may not otherwise meet the requirements for continued listing under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the risk that Nasdaq may not grant the Company relief from delisting if necessary, the risk that the Company may not ultimately meet applicable Nasdaq requirements if any such relief is necessary, the risk that the Company’s stockholders do not approve a reverse stock split, if needed, the risk that the Company is unable to timely effectuate a reverse stock split to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, among other risks and uncertainties. A detailed discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements is included in the documents that the Company files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Form 8-K, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to revise or update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
