CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

This proxy statement includes “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or referenced in this proxy statement could be deemed forward-looking statements, particularly statements about our plans, strategies and prospects. Forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of words such as “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “may,” “will,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “should,” “commitments” or similar expressions, or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. All forward-looking statements in this proxy statement are made based on our current expectations, forecasts, estimates and assumptions and involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause results or events to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those described in more detail under the heading “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 9, 2026 (Form 10-K). Many of the assumptions the forward-looking statements are based upon are likely to change after the date the forward-looking statements are made. Further, we may make changes to our business plans that could affect our results. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update such information, which speaks only as of the date made, except as may be required by law. This proxy statement also contains non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the Appendix to this proxy statement for our calculation and reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures and for information regarding certain limitations and considerations regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Website links and other reports referenced in this proxy statement are for convenience only. Information contained in or accessible through such website links and other reports is not incorporated herein and does not constitute a part of this proxy statement.
