escalations of war or hostilities or global pandemics, as well as management&rsquo;s response to any of the aforementioned factors; (xiii)&nbsp;the

or unexpected costs, liabilities or delays associated with the transaction; (xiv)&nbsp;the response of competitors to the transaction;
(xv)&nbsp;the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, including
in circumstances requiring the Company to pay a termination fee; and (xvi)&nbsp;the risks and uncertainties pertaining to the Company&rsquo;s
