Any of these factors could significantly harm our future international expansion and operations and, consequently, our revenue and results of operations.

We have operations located in Israel, and conflict in the Middle East and any additional escalations of hostilities may cause interruption or suspension of this site without warning, or otherwise negatively impact the global economy or our business.

As part of the C2i Acquisition, we acquired assets and employees based in Israel. As of December 31, 2024, the conflicts in the Middle East have not impacted our operations. In January 2025, Israel and Hamas reached a temporary ceasefire agreement. However, we cannot predict the impact and outcome of the ceasefire agreement. The short and long-term implications of the Israel-Hamas war remains difficult to predict at this time, including the intensity, duration, and expansion of the war in other regions in the Middle East. The conflict has the potential to disrupt operations and business continuity, including physical damage or impaired access to Company facilities, offices, or technology and disruptions in access to electricity, gasoline, or water, as well as potential impact on our key employees located in Israel, such as the mobilization of employees who are members of the Israeli military reserves to active duty, disrupted communication with employees and restrictions on movement in areas subject to armed conflict. Additionally, a prolonged conflict may impact the global economy and result in, among other things, increased inflation, supply chain shortages and declines in economic growth. The war may also have the effect of heightening other risks to our business including, but not limited to, adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions, including inflation; disruptions to our global technology infrastructure, including through cyberattack, ransom attack, or cyber-intrusion; adverse changes in international trade policies and relations; disruptions in global supply chains; and constraints, volatility, or disruption in the capital markets, any of which could have a material adverse effect
