Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our current strategies, expectations and future plans, are generally identified by our use of words, such as &#x201c;intend,&#x201d; &#x201c;plan,&#x201d; &#x201c;may,&#x201d; &#x201c;should,&#x201d; &#x201c;will,&#x201d; &#x201c;project,&#x201d; &#x201c;estimate,&#x201d; &#x201c;anticipate,&#x201d; &#x201c;believe,&#x201d; &#x201c;expect,&#x201d; &#x201c;continue,&#x201d; &#x201c;potential,&#x201d; &#x201c;opportunity,&#x201d; and similar expressions, whether in the negative or affirmative, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward looking. All statements regarding our expected financial position, business and financing plans are forward-looking statements. Readers should specifically consider the various factors identified in this Report and other reports filed by the Company with the SEC, including, but not limited to those discussed in the sections entitled &#x201c;Risk Factors&#x201d; and &#x201c;Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations&#x201d; of the Company&#x2019;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the Company&#x2019;s subsequent periodic reports filed with the SEC that could cause actual results to differ.</font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;"><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;"> </font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;"><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead express only management&#x2019;s beliefs regarding future results or events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the management&#x2019;s control. It is possible that actual results and outcomes may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results or outcomes indicated in these forward-looking statements. In addition to factors discussed in the reports the Company files with the SEC from time to time, risks and uncertainties for the Company include, but are not limited to: the possibility that some or all of the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transaction will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period; the parties&#x2019; inability to meet expectations regarding the timing, completion and accounting and tax treatments of the Proposed Transaction; the inability to complete the Proposed Transaction due to the failure of the Company&#x2019;s stockholders to adopt the merger agreement for the Proposed Transaction; the failure to satisfy other conditions to completion of the Proposed Transaction; the failure of the Proposed Transaction to close for any other reason; diversion of management's attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities due to the Proposed Transaction; the challenges of integrating and retaining key employees; certain restrictions during the pendency of the Proposed Transaction that may impact the Company&#x2019;s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; the effect of the announcement of the Proposed Transaction on the customer and employee relationships and operating results of the Company; the possibility that the Proposed Transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Proposed Transaction, including in circumstances requiring the Company to pay a termination fee;  unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including but not limited to acts of terrorism, outbreaks of war or hostilities; and general competitive, economic, political and market conditions and fluctuations. All forward-looking statements included in this communication are made as of the date hereof and are based on information available at that time. Except as required by law, the Company does not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date the forward-looking statements were made.</font><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;"> </font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;"><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;"> </font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;"><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">These risks, as well as other risks associated with the Proposed Transaction, will be more fully discussed in the proxy statement that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the Proposed Transaction. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed, or if it is completed, that it will close within the anticipated time period. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement except as required by law, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from what we may have expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. We caution that you should not place undue reliance on any of our forward-looking statements. You should specifically consider the factors identified in this communication that could cause actual results to differ. Furthermore, new risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict those events or how they may affect the Company.</font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;"><font style="white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">&#160;</font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;"><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-weight:bold;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">Item 9.01	Financial Statements and Exhibits.</font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:4.5pt;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;"><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">(d) Exhibits.</font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;"><font style="white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">&#160;</font></p>
