The preliminary financial information for the two months ended November 30, 2021 on slide 4 of this presentation does not necessarily reflect the full results of the Company’s quarter ending on December 31, 2021, including the Company’s quarter-end closing procedures and further financial review by the Company’s auditors. Accordingly, results for the full quarter ended December 31, 2021 are subject to change. Actual results for the full quarter ended December 31, 2021 may differ materially from the results provided for the two months ended November 30, 2021 as a result of our financial results for the full quarterly period, the completion of our quarter-end closing procedures, review adjustments and other developments that may arise between now and the time such financial information for the period is finalized. As a result, these results are preliminary, may change and accordingly constitute forward-looking information and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties.
