or to our future operating or financial performance, are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based on estimates and assumptions.
Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements about the Company’s leadership transition, the search

“potential” or “continue,” and are based on our current expectations and views concerning future events and developments

assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or otherwise implied by the forward-looking statement.
Factors that affect our ability to achieve these results include unexpected issues arising from implementation of our new venture, our
need to raise additional capital, our reliance on third parties to provide key services for our business, including cloud hosting, marketing

Factors
or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of
