Such forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual events, results, or performance to differ materially from those indicated by such statements. Certain of these risks and uncertainties are set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Sarcos’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from time to time which are available, free of charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.  In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect Sarcos’ beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information known to Sarcos as of the date of this presentation, and although Sarcos believes such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and Sarcos’ statements should not be read to indicate that Sarcos has conducted a thorough inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and readers are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by Sarcos or any other person that Sarcos will achieve its objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. Except as required by law, Sarcos assumes no obligation and does not intend to update any forward-looking statements or to conform these statements to actual results or changes in Sarcos’ expectations. This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by Sarcos relating to market size and growth and other industry data. These data involve a number of assumptions and limitations and is subject to change. You are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. Sarcos has not independently verified the statistical and other industry data generated by independent parties and contained in this presentation and, accordingly, cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness. In addition, any projections, assumptions and estimates of Sarcos’ future performance and the future performance of the markets in which it competes are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors. These and other factors could cause results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by Sarcos.  Any projections, estimates and targets in this presentation are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions as of the date they were made and that were inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Sarcos’ control. Such projections, estimates and targets are included for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. While all projections, estimates and targets are necessarily speculative, Sarcos believes that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection, estimate or target extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected, expected or target results are inherently uncertain, are subject to change and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, regulatory and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in such projections, estimates and targets. The inclusion of projections, estimates and targets in this presentation should not be regarded as an indication that Sarcos, or its representatives, considered or consider the financial projections, estimates and targets to be a reliable prediction of future events. Sarcos’ independent auditors did not audit, review, compile or perform any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation.
