Forward-Looking Statements
This 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. All statements regarding our expected financial position and operating results, our business strategy, and our financing plans are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be identified by our use of forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," or "intend." These forward-looking statements reflect our plans, expectations, and beliefs and, accordingly, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. We cannot guarantee that any of such forward-looking statements will be realized.
Statements regarding factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements ("Cautionary Statements") include, among others, those under the caption “Risk Factors” in our recently filed registration statements on Form S-3. All of our subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements (or statements that may be attributed to us) are expressly qualified by the Cautionary Statements. You should carefully review the risk factors described in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") from time to time.
Our forward-looking statements are based on information available to us today, and we undertake no obligation to update these statements. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed.
