CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Such statements are provided under the “safe harbor” protection of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include, without limitation, statements concerning the conditions of our industry and our operations, performance, and financial condition, including, in particular, statements relating to our business, growth strategies, product development efforts, and future expenses. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts and generally can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “likely,” “may,” and similar references to future periods, or by the inclusion of forecasts or projections. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding the outlook for our future business and financial performance, such as those contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, we caution you against relying on forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include regional, national, or global political, economic, business, competitive, market, and regulatory conditions and the following:

our ability to complete acquisitions and the successful integration of such acquisitions, including our recently completed acquisition of Infusion Software, Inc. d/b/a Keap (“Keap”and the acquisition of Keap, the “Keap Acquisition”), and any failure of an acquired business to achieve its plans and objectives or realize any expected benefit from any such acquisition;
the potential loss of one or more key employees or our inability to attract and to retain highly skilled employees;
our ability to maintain the compatibility of our Thryv platform with third-party applications;
our ability to successfully expand our operations and current offerings into new markets, including internationally, or further penetrate existing markets;
our potential failure to provide new or enhanced functionality and features;
our potential failure to comply with applicable privacy, security and data laws, regulations and standards;
potential changes in regulations governing privacy concerns and laws or other domestic or foreign data protection regulations;
our potential failure to meet service level commitments under our client contracts;
our potential failure to offer high-quality or technical support services;
our Thryv platform and add-ons potentially failing to perform properly;

the potential impact of future labor negotiations;
our ability to protect our intellectual property rights, proprietary technology, information, processes, and know-how;
rising inflation and our ability to control costs, including operating expenses;
general macro-economic conditions, including a recession or an economic slowdown in the U.S. or internationally;
