Forward-looking statements contained in this news release are based on certain factors and assumptions made by management of DDC based on their current expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions and beliefs regarding their business and DDC does not provide any assurance that actual results will meet management’s expectations. While management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to them, they may prove to be incorrect. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future events or performance and by their nature involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those risks described in the Information Circular and DDC’s management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2023 (both of which are filed under DDC’s SEDAR+ profile on www.sedarplus.ca), that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although DDC has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, other factors may cause actions, events or results to be different than anticipated, estimated or intended.
