Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Any statements made in this press release that are not statements of historical fact, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, including statements related to the offering, are forward-looking statements and should be evaluated as such. Forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations, including our financial outlook and descriptions of our business plan and strategies. Forward-looking statements are based on IAS management's beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, them. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "plan," "intend," "believe," "may," "will," "should," "can have," "likely," and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. Because forward-looking statements are based on expectations as to future events and are not statements of fact, actual results may differ materially from those projected. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements related to the offering include risks and uncertainties related to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Additional risks and uncertainties related to the offering, IAS and our business can be found under the heading "Risk Factors" in the documents of IAS on file with the SEC, including the risk factors discussed throughout the "Risk Factors" section of our prospectus forming a part of the Form S-3ASR filed on May 9, 2023, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 2, 2023 with the SEC, as such factors may be updated from time to time in periodic filings made by IAS with the SEC.
