Future dividends will be subject to further review and approval by the Board in accordance with applicable law. The Board reserves the right to adjust or withdraw the quarterly dividend in future periods as it reviews the Company’s capital allocation strategy from time-to-time.
Forward Looking Statements
This Item 8.01 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, including statements regarding the Company’s dividend program. These forward-looking statements are subject to involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements may be identified by terms such as “will,” “may,” “plans,” or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the anticipated amount, duration, methods, timing and other aspects of our dividend program and any anticipated benefits or value resulting from any such dividends. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, any unforeseen need for capital which may require us to divert funds we may have otherwise used for the dividend program, which may in turn negatively impact our ability to administer the quarterly dividends. In addition, the timing and amount of future dividends, if any, will be made as management deems appropriate and will depend on a variety of factors including stock price, market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements (including applicable securities laws and regulations and the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market), any additional constraints related to material inside information the Company may possess, and capital availability. More information regarding these and other risks, uncertainties and factors is contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC, and in other reports filed by the Company with the SEC from time to time. You are cautioned not to unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 8-K. All information in this Form 8-K is as of the date stated and unless required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this Form 8-K or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events other than as required by law or regulation.
