Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, which could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by these statements. Please see the Company’s disclosures regarding risk factors and forward-looking statements in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (including Current Reports on Form 8-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Annual Report on Form 10-K) for a discussion of the known material factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those indicated or implied by such forward-looking statements.

The Company also held a conference call and audio webcast at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on November 8, 2022 (“Earnings Call”) in which it discussed its third quarter 2022 results.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such forward-looking statements are characterized by future or conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” believe,” “estimate” and “continue” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss future expectations and plans, which contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition or state other forward-looking information. Such statements are only predictions and the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

There may be events in the future that the Company is not able to accurately predict or control. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed under risk factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and other filings filed with the SEC, including the uncertainties associated with the Company’s lack of profitability, its continued capital needs, its lack of a long operating history, its growth strategy, the COVID-19 pandemic and its continued impact on the business, Russia’s war with Ukraine and its impact on the operations, its technology development plans, and the regulatory environment in which it operates. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements as circumstances change. The Company gives no assurance that it will achieve its expectations.

You may access the Company’s SEC filings by visiting SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. This Current Report does not constitute an offer or invitation for the sale or purchase of securities or to engage in any other transaction with the Company or its affiliates. The information in this Current Report is not targeted at the residents of any particular country or jurisdiction and is not intended for distribution to, or use by, any person in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to local law or regulation.

Portions of this report may constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined by federal law. Although the Company believes any such statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there is no assurance that actual outcomes will not be materially different. Additional information about issues that could lead to material changes in the Company’s performance is contained in the Company’s filings with the SEC.
