Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” about the Company’s future expectations, plans, outlook, projections and prospects. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “should,” “may,” “would,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “expects,” “plans,” “proposes” and similar expressions or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, these statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this communication include estimates and assumptions, particularly in regard to unaudited pro forma financial information included in Exhibit 99.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Accordingly, readers are urged to carefully review and consider any cautionary statements and other disclosures, including the statements made under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2022. Furthermore, if the forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In addition, readers are cautioned that past performance may not be indicative of future results. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, readers should not rely on these statements in making an investment decision or regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are contained, and the Company does not undertake any duty to update any forward-looking statements except as may be required by law. Therefore, readers should not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the Company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this communication.
