Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Investor Presentation, may contain statements that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements relate to expectations or forecasts for future events, including, without limitation, our future financial or business performance or strategies, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, forward-looking statements are usually identified by or are associated with such words as “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “hopeful,” “should,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “encouraged,” “opportunities,” “potential,” and/or the negatives or variations of these terms or similar terminology. They reflect management’s current beliefs and estimates of future economic circumstances, industry conditions, Company performance, and Company financial results and are not guarantees of future performance. All such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date, and we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, among others: (i) the unprecedented impact of COVID-19 pandemic on our business, customers, suppliers, employees, service providers, stockholders, investors and other stakeholders, (ii) disruptions in operations at our Atchison facility or our Indiana facility, (iii) the availability and cost of grain and flour, and fluctuations in energy costs, (iv) the effectiveness of our grain purchasing program to mitigate our exposure to commodity price fluctuations, (v) the effectiveness or execution of our strategic plan, (vi) potential adverse effects to operations and our system of internal controls related to the loss of key management personnel, (vii) the competitive environment and related market conditions, (viii) the ability to effectively pass raw material price increases on to customers, (ix) our ability to maintain compliance with all applicable loan agreement covenants, (x) our ability to realize operating efficiencies, (xi) actions of governments, including those taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and (xii) consumer tastes and preferences. For further information on these and other risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, see the risk factor above and the additional risk factors in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
