statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, and as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Whenever you read a statement that is
not simply a statement of historical fact (such as when the Company describes what it "believes," "expects" or "anticipates"
will occur, what "will" or "could" happen, and other similar statements), you must remember that the Company's expectations
may not be correct, even though it believes that they are reasonable. The Company does not guarantee that the forward-looking statements
will happen as described or that they will happen at all. Further information regarding risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements is included in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission, including the Company's annual report on Form 10-K. The Company undertakes no obligation, beyond that required
by law, to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made, even
though the Company's situation may change in the future.
