Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the risk that, upon completion of further procedures, the financial results for the year ended September 30, 2023 are different than the information described in this Form 12b-25, and the risk that the Company is unable to complete its closing procedures in a timely manner to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as those risks and uncertainties described in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and similar disclosures in subsequent periodic and current reports filed with the SEC, which are available on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
