Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including with respect to the company’s expectations regarding the closing of the asset purchase transaction. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, but instead represent only management’s beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the company’s control. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors. Factors that could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Agreements; the inability to complete the proposed transaction due to the failure to satisfy other conditions to completion of such transaction; the risk that the transaction will not be consummated in a timely manner.

Additional factors that could cause the company’s actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the section entitled “Risk Factors” included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, originally filed with the SEC on March 15, 2022, as such factors may be amended and updated from time to time in the company’s subsequent periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on such forward-looking statements because actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied. The company assumes no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
