Statements
in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including intentions, beliefs, expectations
or projections relating to items such as the implementation of strategic
initiatives and the timing of payment of distributions are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as

future business decisions that may prove incorrect or inaccurate. Important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the

invest offering proceeds and other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section
