Further, it is possible that there could be a loss of our existing or any acquired company’s key employees and customers, disruption of either company’s or both companies’ ongoing businesses or unexpected issues, higher than expected costs and an overall post-completion process that takes longer than originally anticipated. Specifically, the following issues, among others, must be addressed in combining any company’s operations with ours in order to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition so the combined company performs as the parties hope:

On November 1, 2024, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On June 12, 2024 and July 1, 2024, stockholder derivative complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against certain of
