Forward-Looking Statements
All
statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K other than statements of historical facts, contains certain forward-looking statements
that are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,”
“plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“believe,” “seek,” “target,” “continue,” “may” or other similar expressions
that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does
not mean a statement is not forward looking. Indications of, and guidance or outlook on, future earnings, dividends or financial position
or performance are also forward-looking statements.
These
forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially, and potentially
adversely, from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections
and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks
and uncertainties. Most of these factors are outside the Company’s and Infinite’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors
that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (i) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that
could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (ii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the
Company and Infinite following the announcement of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (iii) the inability
to complete the proposed Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of the Company, certain
regulatory approvals, or the satisfaction of other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (iv) the occurrence of any event, change,
or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement or could otherwise cause the transaction to fail
to close; (v) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Infinite’s business and/or the ability of the parties to complete the proposed
Business Combination; (vi) the inability to maintain the listing of the Company’s shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market following the
proposed Business Combination; (vii) the risk that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result
of the announcement and consummation of the proposed Business Combination; (viii) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of
the proposed Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of Infinite to grow and manage
growth profitably, and retain its key employees; (ix) costs related to the proposed Business Combination; (x) changes in applicable laws
or regulations; and (xi) the possibility that Infinite or the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive
factors. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Additional information concerning certain of these and other risk factors is
contained in the Company’s most recent filings with the SEC, including the Company’s Prospectus, filed with the SEC on May
20, 2021. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ
materially from those contained herein. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Company or Infinite,
the transactions described herein or other matters attributable to the Company, Infinite or any person acting on their behalf are expressly
qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date made. Each of the Company or Infinite expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to
release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in their expectations
with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any statement is based, except as required by law.

The press release is not a proxy statement or
a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the potential transaction and does
not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company or Infinite, nor shall there be any
