Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Statements and other information included in this Amendment No. 1 that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company’s plans, strategies, beliefs and expectations, as well as certain estimates and assumptions used by the Company’s management, may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and, except for the Company’s ongoing obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement.

Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to change or revision, including the estimates and assumptions used by the Company in preparing the pro forma financial information included in this Amendment No. 1, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements or the estimates or assumptions used. Such forward-looking statements are based on currently available information, and include, without limitation, the Company’s ability to efficiently integrate the operations and business of Broadbean and obtain the anticipated benefits therefrom, and the Company’s current expectations with respect to preliminary estimated adjustments to record the assets and liabilities of the Company at their respective estimates of fair values under acquisition accounting.

Actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements for a number of reasons, including additional information becoming available regarding the fair values of assets and liabilities, the performance of additional fair value analyses, and as identified in the risk factors included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including without limitation, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and the Company’s other filings with the SEC.
