This Current Report on Form 8-K contains a number of forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “will,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company's plans and expectations, materiality or significance of the misstatements and adjustments presented, which are management’s best estimates as of the date hereof, the Restatement’s quantitative effects, the effectiveness of the restated financial statements and any anticipated conclusions of the Company, the Audit Committee, or the Board of Directors. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond the control of the Company.

Important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the risk that additional information may arise out of the continuing review of the financial statements and the evaluation of accounting practices, the preparation of the Company’s restated financial statements or other subsequent events that would require the Company to make additional adjustments, or to identify additional material weaknesses; the risk that the Company will not complete the Restatement or file its amended or future SEC reports within the periods it currently expects; the consequences of any failure to timely file periodic reports, including under the listing rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, and the agreements governing the Company’s securitization and credit facilities; the costs of the Restatement and of remediating material weaknesses; securities litigation and any regulatory inquiries or proceedings relating to the Company’s financial reporting; and inherent limitations in internal control over financial reporting. For other risk factors affecting the Company, see “Risk Factors” in the 2025 Form 10-K as well as in our other filings with the SEC. Forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date on which they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or review publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.
