Forward Looking Statement

The information in this news release includes certain information and statements about management’s view of future events, expectations, plans and prospects that constitute forward looking statements including information with respect to the offering. More particularly, this press release contains forward-looking statements concerning the timing of closing the offering, the anticipated use of proceeds and the receipt of the required approvals. Because of certain risks and uncertainties and as a result of a variety of factors, the actual results, expectations, achievements or performance may differ materially from those anticipated and indicated by these forward looking statements.
