In addi�on, even if the results of opera�ons, financial condi�on and liquidity, and the development of the markets and the industry in which the Issuer operates are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this document, those results or developments may not be indica�ve of results or developments in subsequent periods.

Forward-looking statements may and o�en do differ materially from actual results. Any forward-looking statements in this document reflect the Issuer's current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks rela�ng to future events and other risks, uncertain�es, and assump�ons rela�ng to the Issuer's opera�ons, results of opera�ons, growth strategy, and liquidity. Investors should specifically consider the factors iden�fied in this document that could cause actual results to differ before making an investment decision. Subject to the requirements of the Lis�ng Rules, the Issuer undertakes no obliga�on publicly to release the result of any revisions to any forward- looking statements in this document that may occur due to any change in the Issuer's expecta�ons or to reflect events or circumstances a�er the date of this document.
