<div class="lb-trans"><p>关于前瞻性声明的警示说明</p>
</div><p>This news release contains statements which constitute “forward-looking information” or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws, including statements regarding the plans, intentions, beliefs and current expectations of the Company with respect to future business activities and plans of the Company. Forward-looking information and forward-looking statements are often identified by the words “may”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “will”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect” or similar expressions. More particularly and without limitation, this news release contains forward–looking statements and information relating to the Company’s plan to concentrate resources on core target markets and highest-priority initiatives; the Company's workforce restructuring drastically reducing its operating costs and liquidity position; and the identified core target market providing the fastest speed to market, the greatest ability to capture market share, and the maximum return on investment.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>本新闻稿包含符合适用证券法的 “前瞻性信息” 或 “前瞻性声明” 的内容，包括关于公司未来商业活动和计划的计划、意图、信念和当前预期的声明。前瞻性信息和前瞻性声明通常通过 “可能”、“将”、“可以”、“应该”、“打算”、“计划”、“预期”、“相信”、“估计”、“期待” 或类似表达来识别。更具体地说，本新闻稿包含与公司计划将资源集中在核心目标市场和最高优先级举措相关的前瞻性声明和信息；公司的员工重组将大幅降低其运营成本和流动性状况；以及识别的核心目标市场提供最快的市场速度、最大的市场份额获取能力和最大的投资回报。</p>
</div><p>The forward–looking statements and information are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by the management of the Company. As a result, there can be no assurance that such plans will be completed as proposed or at all. Such forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions of management, including, without limitation, that the restructuring and related actions will deliver the anticipated operating cost reductions and improvements to liquidity position; the Company will maintain continuity of key operations, systems, vendor relationships and customer service levels during and after the restructuring; sufficient leadership and critical staff will be retained or recruited to execute the refocused strategy and serve the core target market; and demand within the identified core target market will materialize as expected, allowing faster speed to market, share capture and attractive returns on investment. Although management of the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking statements and information are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward–looking statements and information since no assurance can be given that they will prove to be correct.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>前瞻性声明和信息基于公司管理层所做的某些关键预期和假设。因此，无法保证这些计划将按提议完成或根本完成。这些前瞻性声明基于管理层的多项假设，包括但不限于，重组及相关行动将实现预期的运营成本降低和流动性改善；公司在重组期间及之后将保持关键运营、系统、供应商关系和客户服务水平的连续性；将保留或招聘足够的领导和关键员工以执行重新聚焦的战略并服务于核心目标市场；以及识别的核心目标市场的需求将如预期那样出现，从而实现更快的市场速度、市场份额获取和吸引人的投资回报。尽管公司管理层认为这些前瞻性声明和信息所基于的预期和假设是合理的，但不应对这些前瞻性声明和信息过度依赖，因为无法保证它们将被证明是正确的。</p>
</div><p>Forward-looking statements and information are provided for the purpose of providing information about the current expectations and plans of management of the Company relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such statements and information may not be appropriate for other purposes, such as making investment decisions. Since forward–looking statements and information address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to, loss of personnel, knowledge transfer gaps, systems changes or vendor transitions could impair service levels, delivery timelines or product quality; severance and other one-off charges may offset projected savings; inability to retain or hire critical leadership and technical personnel could impede strategy execution and customer support; demand in the identified core market may be weaker than expected; and other risks detailed from time to time in the filings made by the Company in accordance with securities regulations. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on the forward–looking statements and information contained in this news release. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.</p>
