This Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibits furnished herewith, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such forward-looking statements relate to, without limitation, the Company’s future economic performance, plans and objectives for future operations and projections of revenue and other financial items. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “plan,” “potential,” “projected,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “target,” “continue” or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties, many of which the Company cannot predict with accuracy and some of which the Company might not even anticipate. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions at the time made, the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will be achieved. Future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in this press release. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Factors that could materially affect results of the Company include those risk factors contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the Company’s other public filings. Copies of each filing may be obtained from the Company or the SEC.
