2. Safe Harbor Statement
This presentation and the accompanying oral presentation may contain forward-looking statements, the achievement or success of which involve risks, uncertainties, and
assumptions. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking
statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,”
“predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions.
Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, future results of operations and financial position, planned products and services, business strategy and plans and
objectives of management for future operations. Our expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to inherent
risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstance that are difficult or impossible to predict.
Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements as a result of such uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances,
including without limitation risks and uncertainties related to: our ability to continue to deliver and improve our offerings and successfully develop new offerings; customer acceptance
and purchase of our existing offerings and new offerings; our ability to maintain and expand our customer base; the market for our products not continuing to develop; competition
from other products; the impact of foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations on our results; our business strategy and our plan to build our business; the pace of
change and innovation in the markets in which we participate and the competitive nature of those markets; our international expansion strategy; our service performance and security,
including the resources and costs required to prevent, detect and remediate potential security breaches; our operating results and cash flows; our strategy of acquiring complementary
businesses and our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and technologies; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; our ability to develop our brands; the
impact of expensing stock options and other equity awards; and the sufficiency of our capital resources and general market, political, economic and business conditions.
Forward-looking statements are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, and the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Additional risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
outcomes and results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements are included under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our most recent

conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law.
