Our brand names and trade secrets are valuable to us and we may not be successful in protecting them.

We have invested and expect to continue investing significant resources in establishing our brand names, brand visual identities and our marketing and trade secrets. Our success is dependent in part on protecting our trade secrets. While we take precautions designed to protect our trade secrets, including through contracts with third parties to protect our trade secrets, we cannot assure you that these contracts will fully safeguard our trade secrets or that our competitors and other unauthorized third parties will not use our proprietary brand, content and information to create or enhance competing solutions and services. In addition, we may not be able to protect the “HCYC” and other brand names, which could reduce the value associated with them, erode any competitive advantage and materially harm our business and our prospects of profitability. The validity, enforceability and scope of protection of trade secrets may vary across the jurisdictions in which we operate, and we may not be successful in enforcing these rights. Accordingly, we may not be able to adequately protect our trade secrets. If we are unable to protect our brand names and other trade secrets from infringement, our competitive position may also be undermined, and we may suffer material losses and harm to our reputation.

In addition, while we take care to ensure that we do not infringe on third parties’ intellectual property rights or breach the terms of any license of intellectual property granted by third parties, we cannot assure you that we will not face infringement claims brought by third parties, which may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

We may be required to spend significant resources in order to monitor and protect our trade secrets, and some violations may be difficult or impossible to detect. Litigation to protect and enforce our intellectual trade secrets could be costly and time-consuming to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our trade secrets. Our efforts to enforce our trade secrets rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights.

Catastrophic events could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The threat of epidemics, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and policies implemented by governments to deter the spread of the disease, has had and may continue to have an adverse effect on
