contains forward-looking statements regarding future events, including statements regarding the proposed public offering, that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of words such as &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;continue,&#148; &#147;could,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;forecast,&#148;

Forward-looking statements in this report include, without limitation, statements regarding the Company&#146;s expectations as to the completion, timing and size of the public offering and the anticipated use of proceeds (if any) therefrom. These
forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and readers are therefore cautioned that actual results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, among other things: risks and uncertainties associated with market conditions and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions related to the proposed offering, and other risks and
uncertainties discussed in the Company&#146;s filings with the SEC, including the &#147;Risk Factors&#148; section of the Company&#146;s Quarterly Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-Q</FONT> for the quarter ended September&nbsp;30,
