Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This proxy statement contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in

this proxy statement, including statements regarding future operations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward

looking statements may be identified by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,”

“could,” “would,” “expect,” “objective,” “plan,” “potential,” “seek,” “grow,” “target,” “if,” or the negative of these terms and similar

expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. In particular, statements about potential new products and product

innovation, statements with respect to our ability to meet future goals and targets, including our sustainability and governance

targets, and our expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, prospects, assumptions or future events or performance

contained in the proxy statement are forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements primarily on

our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results

of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives and financial needs. These

forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in the

section titled “Risk Factors” set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our 2026 Annual Report and in our other SEC filings. Moreover, we

operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our

management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our 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

may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this proxy statement

may not occur and actual results may differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking

statements. You should read this proxy statement with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity,

performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect. In addition, statements that “we

believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on

information available to us as of the date of this proxy statement. While we believe that such information provides a reasonable

basis for these statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we

have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and

investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, our directors, executive officers and any persons holding more than 10% of our Shares

are required to report initial ownership of our Shares and any subsequent changes in ownership to the SEC. Specific due dates

have been established by the SEC, and we are required to disclose in this proxy statement any failure to file required ownership

reports by these dates. Based solely upon a review of forms filed with the SEC and the written representations of such persons,

we are aware of no late Section 16(a) filings other than one late Form 3 report filed by the Company on behalf of David Hill.
