In some cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words like “believe,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “intend,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “future,” “consider,” “project,” “forecast,” and similar expressions with references to the future. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and good-faith evaluation of information available at the time the forward-looking statements were made and are inherently uncertain and subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and they should not be relied upon as guarantees of future performance or results, nor will they necessarily prove to be accurate indications of the times at or by which any such performance or results will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and should consider the uncertainties and risks discussed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-Kand subsequent Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Various factors, including future events, may cause our actual, results, performance, or achievement to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, and actual outcomes and results may differ materially. All forward-looking statements in this proxy statement and the letter from Mr. Holding are made only as of the date they were first issued, and unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Website references throughout this proxy statement are provided for convenience only, and the content on the referenced websites is not incorporated by reference into this document. In connection with the solicitation of proxy appointments for the Annual Meeting, we have not authorized anyone to give you any information, or make any representation, that is not contained in this proxy statement. If anyone gives you any other information or makes any other representation, you should not rely on it as having been authorized by us.
