Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Form 12b-25 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can generally be identified by words or phrases written in the future tense and/or preceded by words such as “likely,” “should,” “may,” “will,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects” or similar words or variations thereof, or the negative thereof, references to future periods, or by the inclusion of forecasts or projections.

 

Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions regarding the Company’s 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, actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Additional factors or events that could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them. For additional discussion of factors that could impact the Company’s operational and financial results, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other subsequent SEC filings.

 

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Form 12b-25 and should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s views as of any subsequent date. The Company explicitly disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, other than as may be required by law. If the Company does update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be made that the Company will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
