 business to any person, or securing
any advantage. Any violation of the FCPA, other applicable anti-corruption laws, and anti-money laundering laws could result in whistleblower
complaints, adverse media coverage, investigations, loss of export privileges, or severe criminal or civil sanctions, which could have
a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, operating results, and prospects. In addition, responding to any enforcement action
may result in a significant diversion of management’s attention and resources, significant defense costs, and other professional
fees.

We expect to incur significant additional costs as a result of being a public company, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Upon completion of our IPO,
we expect to incur costs associated with corporate governance requirements that will become applicable to us as a public company, including
rules and regulations of the SEC, under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010,
and the Exchange Act, as well as the rules of the NYSE. These rules and regulations are expected to significantly increase our accounting,
legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming. We also expect these rules and regulations to make
it more expensive for us to obtain and maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. As a result, it may be more
difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. Accordingly, increases
in costs incurred as a result of becoming a publicly traded company may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations.

The trading market is influenced
to some extent by the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us and our business. We do not control these
analysts. As a newly public company, we may be slow to attract research coverage and the analysts who publish information about our securities
will have had relatively little experience with us or our industry, which could affect their ability to accurately forecast our results
and could make it more likely that we fail to meet their estimates. In the event we obtain securities or industry analyst coverage, if
any of the analysts who cover us provide inaccurate or unfavorable research or issue an adverse opinion regarding our stock price, our
