These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as and must not be relied on by an investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are very difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from the assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of AEye. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including but not limited to: (i) the risks that any of our directors may be unable to serve their full term; (ii) the risks that the strategic vision and operating discipline AEye has been driving since 2023 may not position AEye for long-term success to the extent or in the time frame anticipated, or at all; (iii) the risks that the increased engagement with our stockholders may not occur to the extent or in the time frame anticipated, or at all; (iv) the risks that AEye’s products may not meet the diverse range of performance and functional requirements of target markets and customers; (v) the risks that AEye’s products may not function as anticipated by AEye, or by target markets and customers; (vi) the risks that AEye may not be in a position to adequately or timely address either the near or long-term opportunities that may or may not exist in the evolving autonomous transportation industry; (vii) the risks that laws and regulations are adopted impacting the use of lidar that AEye is unable to comply with, in whole or in part; (viii) the risks associated with changes in competitive and regulated industries in which AEye operates, variations in operating performance across competitors, and changes in laws and regulations affecting AEye’s business; (ix) the risks that AEye is unable to adequately implement its business plans, forecasts, and other expectations, and identify and realize additional opportunities; and (x) the risks of economic downturns and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive and evolving industry in which AEye operates.
