Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K are considered “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Words such as “will,” “intend,” “expect,” “estimate,” “believe,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “may,” “could” and similar terms are used to identify such forward-looking statements. Any statements regarding the proposed acquisition of the Company by an investor consortium comprised of affiliates and/or certain investment funds advised by Mubadala Capital (the “Merger”), including any expected timetable for completing the Merger (including whether the Merger is consummated in a timely manner or at all), satisfaction of the closing conditions, and the expected benefits of the Merger, are forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict.
Various risks that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed by the forward-looking statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K include, but are not limited to: uncertainties associated with the proposed Merger, including the failure to consummate the Merger in a timely manner or at all; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, including circumstances requiring us to pay a termination fee pursuant to the Merger Agreement; failure to satisfy the conditions precedent to consummate the Merger, including obtaining the remaining required regulatory approval; the risk that restrictions on the operation of our business during the pendency of the Merger may impact our ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions or undertake certain actions we might otherwise have taken; litigation relating to, or other unexpected costs resulting from, the Merger; our dependence on our senior management team and other key individuals and any failure to retain them in light of the Merger; and other factors set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date stated, or if no date is stated, as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. For a more comprehensive discussion of risks, refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s reports filed with the SEC, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements because of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
