CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This proxy statement and the documents that we incorporate by reference herein contain certain disclosures which contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including but not limited to those statements related to the Merger, including financial estimates and statements as to the expected timing, completion and effects of the Merger. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “expect,” “believe,” “target,” “project,” “goals,” “estimate,” “potential,” “predict,” “may,” “will,” “might,” “could,” “forecast,” “outlook” and variations of these terms or the negative of these terms and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the Merger, are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements, which are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Important factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such plans, estimates or expectations include but are not limited to:

| • |     | our ability to complete the Merger on the anticipated terms and timing, or at all, including our ability to                                                 
 obtain the required Company Stockholder Approval to consummate the Merger, and our ability to satisfy the other conditions to the completion of the Merger; |

| • |     | potential litigation relating to the Merger that could be instituted against us or our directors, managers or 
 officers, including the effects of any outcomes related thereto;                                              |

| • |     | the risk that disruptions from the Merger will harm our business, including current plans and operations, 
 including during the pendency of the Merger;                                                              |

| • |     | our ability to retain and hire key personnel; |

| • |     | potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of 
 the Merger;                                                                                                       |
