By filing this report on Form 8-K and furnishing this information, we make no admission as to the materiality of any information in this report that we choose to disclose solely because of Regulation FD.
The information contained in the presentation materials is summary information that is intended to be considered in the context of our SEC filings and other public announcements that we may make, by press release or otherwise, from time to time. We undertake no duty or obligation to publicly update or revise the information contained in this report, although we may do so from time to time as our management believes is warranted. Any such updating may be made through the filing of other reports or documents with the SEC, through press releases or through other public disclosure.
Certain expectations and projections regarding the future performance of the Company referenced in this report or the attachment hereto are forward-looking statements. These expectations and projections are based on currently available competitive, financial, and economic data, along with the Company’s operating plans, and are subject to future events and uncertainties.
