Words such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "plans," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements, including our statements regarding our expectations around the pending litigation, largely on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including, among other things, the risk that the remaining claims may not be resolved in our favor, which could lead to unexpected costs, liabilities, or delays in the resolution of this matter. Further information on risks that could affect the Company’s results is included in our filings with SEC, including our Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2026, and other reports that we may file with the SEC from time to time, which could cause actual results to vary from expectations. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.
