All statements addressing events or developments that Transcat expects or anticipates will occur in the future, including but not limited to statements relating to the Offering and statements relating to the Company’s intended use of the net proceeds from the Offering, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should be evaluated in light of important risk factors and uncertainties. These risk factors and uncertainties include changes as a result of market conditions or for other reasons, the risk that the Offering will not be consummated, the impact of general economic, health, industrial or political conditions in the United States or internationally, and other risks and uncertainties described in Transcat’s Annual Report, Quarterly Reports, and other documents filed with the SEC. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the Company’s underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those currently anticipated. In addition, undue reliance should not be placed on the Company’s forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.
