Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the estimates and assumptions related to the Private Placement, the Sixteenth Amendment, and the Conversion, including anticipated benefits thereof; the risk that the conditions to the closing of the proposed transactions are not satisfied; the ability of each party to consummate the proposed transactions on a timely basis, or at all, or the failure of any of the proposed transactions to close for any reason; and the other factors discussed in its periodic reports, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025, and subsequent reports filed with the SEC.
