This presentation contains “forward -looking ” statements –that is, statements related to future, not past,

events. In this context, forward -looking statements often address our expected future business and

financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,”

“intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “seek,” “see,” “likely,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “should,” “would,” “will,” or similar expressions. These forward -

looking statements involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed or suggested by the forward -looking statements. If any

of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if any of our assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results

could differ materially from the results expressed or implied by these forward -looking statements. These

risks and uncertainties include risks associated with: our ability to sustain our revenue growth rate, to

achieve or maintain profitability, and to effectively manage our anticipated growth; our ability to attract new customers on a cost -effective basis and the extent to which existing customers renew and upgrade

their subscriptions; the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID -19) pandemic and any associated

economic downturn on our business operations, results, and financial position; the timing of our introduction of new solutions or updates to existing solutions; our ability to successfully diversify our

solutions by developing or introducing new solutions or acquiring and integrating additional businesses,

products, services, or content; our ability to maintain and expand our strategic relationships with third parties; our ability to deliver our solutions to customers without disruption or delay; our exposure to liability from errors, delays, fraud, or system failures, which may not be covered by insurance; our ability

to expand our international reach; and the other risk factors discussed in our most recent annual report

on Form 10- K filed with the SEC under the heading “Risk Factors.”
