Information provided and statements contained in this report that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, Section 21E of the Exchange Act and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements only speak as of the date of this report and the Registrant assumes no obligation to update the information included in this report. Such forward-looking statements include the expected use of proceeds from the offering. These statements often include words such as “may,” “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “initiative” or “continue.” These forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Registrant’s industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond the Registrant’s control. Accordingly, readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or occurrence of events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although the Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, results may prove to be materially different from the expectations expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. More information about potential risks and uncertainties that could affect the Registrant’s business and results of operations is included in the “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” sections in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 10, 2026 and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
