The Company expects to file the Annual Report in late May 2020, but in any event not later than June 15, 2020.In the meantime, the Company notes that the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting global economies and financial markets and could negatively affect our operations and/or our ability to access capital, as well as the operations and financial position of our suppliers and customers. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of potential impacts on our business, the financial markets or the global economy as a whole.Forward-Looking Statements
