Introductory Note: Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K (this Annual Report ) and the Company s other communications and statements
may contain certain 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, as amended (the Exchange Act ), including
statements about the Company s beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, estimates, projections and intentions. All
forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to change
based on various factors, many of which are beyond the Company s control. The Company s actual future results may
differ materially from those set forth in the Company s forward-looking statements depending on a variety of important
factors, including the financial condition of the Company s customers, changes in the economic and competitive
environments and demand for the Company s products. In addition, on February 24, 2022, Russian military forces
invaded Ukraine. The impact to Ukraine from the invasion as well as actions taken by other countries, including new

industries in Russia, and actions taken by Russia and certain other countries in response to such sanctions, could result
in a disruption in our supply chain and higher costs of our products. The words may, could, should, would,
believe, anticipate, estimate, expect, intend, plan, target, goal, and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements.
For information concerning these factors and related matters, see Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A in this Annual
Report, and Management s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II, Item
7 in this Annual Report. However, other factors besides those referenced could adversely affect the Company s results,
and you should not consider any such list of factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. Any
forward-looking statements made by the Company herein speak as of the date of this Annual Report. The Company
does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law.
