Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form
8-K
contains certain "forward-looking" statements as that term is defined by
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements that are predictive in
nature, that depend on or relate to future events or conditions, or that include
words such as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "may", "will", "would",
"should", "estimates", "could", "intends", "plans" or other similar expressions
are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve significant
known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause the company's actual
results in future periods to differ materially from those projected or
contemplated in the forward-looking statements as a result of, but not limited
to, the following factors: timing and consummation of the redemption of the
Series C Preferred Stock; risks and uncertainties related to market conditions
and satisfaction of customary closing conditions related to the redemption of
the Series C Preferred Stock; and the impact of legislative, regulatory and
competitive changes and other risk factors relating to the industries in which
we operate, as detailed from time to time in each of our reports filed with the
SEC. There can be no assurance that the proposed transactions will be
consummated on the terms described herein or at all.
The risks included here are not exhaustive, and additional factors could
adversely affect our business and financial performance. We discussed a number
of additional material risks in our annual report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020 and other filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Those risks continue to be relevant to our performance and
financial condition. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly
changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not
possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the
impact of all such risk factors on the business or the extent to which any
factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially
from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim
any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise.
