The Underwriters and their affiliates may from time to time in the future perform services for the Company and engage in other transactions with the Company.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements contained in this current report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, contain forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Act and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which we refer to as the Exchange Act, with respect to the financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, future performance and business of the Company . These forward-looking statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor for "forward-looking statements" provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are those that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to the Company's beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors (some of which are beyond the Company's control). The words "may," "could," "should," "would," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which change over time, are based on management's expectations and assumptions at the time the statements are made. The Company's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. While the Company believes its plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions as reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that any of them will be achieved. You should understand that various factors could affect the Company's future results and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements.

Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements and from its historical financial results due to the factors discussed in the Company's SEC filings. Forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company's expectations or beliefs as of any date subsequent to the time this Form 8-K is filed with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise the forward-looking statements contained in herein to reflect events after the time it is filed with the SEC. The


factors discussed herein are not intended to be a complete summary of all risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company's businesses. Though the Company strives to monitor and mitigate risk, it cannot anticipate all potential economic, operational and financial developments that may adversely impact the Company's operations and its financial results.

Forward-looking statements should not be viewed as predictions, and should not be the primary basis upon which investors evaluate the Company. Any investor in the Company should consider all risks and uncertainties disclosed in the Company's SEC filings all of which are accessible on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.
