CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Current Report on Form 8-K 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. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements regarding the proposed Investor-Consent Share Loan Program (the “Program”), the no-action request submitted to the Staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Staff”), the potential timing, substance, or outcome of any SEC Staff response, the expected implementation or operation of the Program, and the anticipated benefits of the Program for shareholders, market transparency, or investor choice, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied, including: the SEC Staff may not respond to the no-action request, may decline to grant the requested relief, or may impose conditions or limitations not currently anticipated; any Staff response would reflect the views of the Staff only and would not constitute a formal rule, regulation, or approval by the Commission; the Program may not be capable of implementation through existing intermediary relationships as currently contemplated; market, regulatory, or operational conditions may change in ways that affect the Company’s ability to implement or maintain the Program; and other risks described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
