TC’s industry could harm ABTC’s reputation. Any of the foregoing could result in a material adverse effect on ABTC’s business, financial condition and results of operations. 52 Increased scrutiny and changing expectations from stakeholders with respect to ABTC’s practices and the impacts of climate change may result in additional costs or risks. Companies across many industries are facing increasing scrutiny related to environmental, social and governance (“ ESG”) matters. Investor advocacy groups, certain institutional investors, investment funds and other influential investors are increasingly focused on ESG and in recent years have placed increasing importance on the non -financialimpacts of their investments. If environmental laws or regulations or industry standards are either changed or adopted and impose significant operational restrictions and compliance requirements on ABTC’s operations, ABTC’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted. ABTC may be adversely affected by physical risks related to climate change and ABTC’s response to it.

The frequency and intensity of severe weather events are reportedly increasing as part of broader climate changes.

ABTC evaluates its exposure to legal and regulatory proceedings and establish reserves, if required, for the estimated liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Assessing and predicting the outcome of these matters involves substantial uncertainties and contingencies. Such matters can be time -consuming, divert management’s attention and resources, cause ABTC to incur significant expenses or liabilities or require ABTC to change its business practices. In addition, the expenses and liabilities of litigation and other proceedings and the timing of these expenses from period to period, are difficult to estimate, subject
