Important Notice

This notice contains “forward looking statements” that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Statements other than statements of historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements and are not guarantees of future performance or results and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual outcomes and results, including the use of proceeds, could differ materially from those suggested due to the impact of many factors, including those beyond the control of FBCC and those listed in the “Risk Factors” section of FBCC’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of such statements. FBCC assumes no obligation to update or revise any such forward looking statements. FBCC has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and projections about future events. FBCC believes that the expectations and assumptions that have been made with respect to these forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, such expectations and assumptions may prove to be incorrect. A number of factors could lead to results that may differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Given this level of uncertainty, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements.
