Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which provides a "safe harbor" for such statements in certain circumstances. The forward-looking statements relate to prior statements or expectations regarding the ability of the parties to satisfy the conditions precedent and consummate the proposed Merger, the timing of consummation of the proposed Merger, the ability of the parties to secure any required stockholder approval in a timely manner or on the terms desired or anticipated, and any failure of Parent to obtain the financing required to consummate the Merger. These statements are based upon current expectations, beliefs and assumptions, and there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Because forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and speak only as of the date on which they are made, actual events could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to the possibility that the conditions to the closing of the Merger are not satisfied, including the risk that required stockholder approval for the Merger is not obtained, potential litigation relating to the Merger, uncertainties as to the timing of the consummation of the Merger, the ability of each party to consummate the Merger, risks relating to the substantial costs and diversion of personnel's attention and resources due to these matters and other factors discussed in greater detail in the Company's filings with the SEC. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements and to consult the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the SEC for additional risks and uncertainties that may apply to the Company's business and the ownership of the Company's securities. The forward-looking statements are presented as of the date made, and the Company does not undertake any duty to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
