The report explicitly states it does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities in any state where such action would be unlawful prior to registration.
Risks and Contingencies: The resale of the contingent shares (up to 48,852) is dependent on the MVP Sellers attaining specific post-closing performance targets. No other risks or contingencies are detailed in this specific filing.
