Forward-Looking
Statements
Certain
disclosures in this report include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These forward-looking statements reflect, among other things, the Company’s current expectations, assumptions, plans, strategies,
and anticipated results. When used in this discussion, the words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,”
“budget,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,”
“intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,”
“will,” “future” and the negative of these or similar terms and phrases are intended to identify forward-looking
statements in this report. Forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current expectations regarding future events, results
or outcomes. These expectations may or may not be realized. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, the Company can give you no assurance these expectations will prove to have been correct. Some of these expectations
may be based upon assumptions, data or judgments that prove to be incorrect. Actual events, results and outcomes may differ materially
from the Company’s expectations due to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. There are a number
of risks, uncertainties and conditions that may cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed or
implied by these forward-looking statements, including the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of Risk Factors in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the other risk factors identified from time to time in the Company’s
other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Filings with the SEC are available on the SEC’s
website at http://www.sec.gov. Many of these circumstances are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. These forward-looking
statements necessarily involve assumptions on the Company’s part. Furthermore, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking
statements, which are based on the information currently available to the Company and speak only as of the date they are made. The Company
disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements.
