Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to statements regarding, among other things, the plans, strategies, and prospects, both business and financial, of TMTG and related matters. Although the Company believes that its plans,
intentions, and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot assure you that it will achieve or realize these plans, intentions, or expectations. Forward-looking statements are
inherently subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events, or results of operations, are
forward-looking statements. These statements may be preceded by, followed by, or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates” or “intends” or
similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations that the Company describes in
its forward-looking statements. There may be events in the future that the Company is not accurately able to predict, or over which the Company has no control.
You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Although the Company may elect to update forward-looking statements in the future,
the Company disclaims any obligation to do so, even if our assumptions and projections change, except where applicable law may otherwise require us to do so. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. Readers should not put undue
reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements
herein. Important factors that may affect these projections or expectations include, but are not limited to: our ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of Truth.Fi and our future collaborations; the possibility that we may be adversely
impacted by economic, business, and/or competitive factors; our limited operating history making it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects; our inability to effectively manage future growth and achieve operational efficiencies; our
inability to grow or maintain our active user base; our inability to achieve or maintain profitability; occurrence of a cyber incident resulting in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption and/or financial loss; potential
diversion of management’s attention and consumption of resources as a result of new products and strategies; and those additional risks, uncertainties and factors described in more detail under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and in our other filings with the SEC, which describe additional factors that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. The Company’s SEC filings are
available publicly on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business, or the extent to which
any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
