Notice
Investing
in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties
and forward-looking statements described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, as amended for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2022, filed with the SEC on June 6, 2023 and August 3, 2023. If any of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition
or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the value of our securities could decline, and you could lose part or all
of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to
us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. In addition, our past financial performance may not
be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results in the future. See “Forward-Looking
Statements” below.
Forward-Looking
Statements
Statements
made in this press release include 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. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,”
“will,” “plan,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“continue,” or comparable terminology. Such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to certain risks, trends and
uncertainties, many of which the Company cannot predict with accuracy and some of which the Company might not even anticipate and involve
factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or suggested. Readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements and are advised to consider the factors listed above together with the additional factors
under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 20-F, as may be supplemented or amended by
the Company’s Reports of a Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K. The Company assumes no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking
