These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, risks related to whether the company will consummate the offering of the common stock on the expected terms, or at all, the trading price and volatility of the company's common stock, market and other general economic conditions, and the fact that the company's management will have discretion in the use of the proceeds from any sale of the common stock. The company refers you to the documents it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically the section titled "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, which contain and identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the company's projections or forward-looking statements.
