This report contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
which statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are statements that include projections,
predictions, expectations or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Such statements
are often characterized by the use of qualifying words (and their derivatives) such as “expect,” “believe,”
“estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “anticipate,” or other statements concerning opinions
or judgments of the Company and its management about future events. Factors that could influence the accuracy of such forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, the financial success or changing strategies of the Company’s customers, the
Company’s level of success in integrating acquisitions, actions of government regulators, the level of market interest rates,
and general economic conditions. For additional information about the factors that could affect the matters discussed in this paragraph,
see the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements.
