Forward-looking Statements

This Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. For example, forward-looking statements include statements regarding the timing of the filing of the Quarterly Reports and the Annual Report, the Company’s intention to provide additional information to the Panel, the outcome of the review by the Panel of the additional delinquency, and the Company’s ability to regain compliance with the Listing Rules. Actual results could differ materially from the results projected in or implied by the forward-looking statements made in this report. Factors that might cause these differences include, but are not limited to: the possibility of unanticipated delays that will prevent the filing of the Q2 Quarterly Report pursuant to the anticipated timeline; the risk that the work necessary to complete the Q2 Quarterly Report is greater than anticipated or may involve the resolution of additional issues identified during the review process; the potential inability of the Company to file a plan to regain compliance in a timely manner; the risk that the Company may not respond adequately to further inquiries from Nasdaq; and the risk that Nasdaq will not grant a stay of the delisting proceedings or accept any plan to regain compliance and will delist the Company's Class A common stock. Other risk factors that may impact these forward-looking statements are discussed in more detail in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 5, 2023. Copies of the Company’s 2022 Annual Report and other periodic reports are available through the Company's Investor Relations department and website, alpine4.com.
