As of the publication date of GRIZZLY RESEARCH LLC’S short-biased report, Certain GRIZZLY RESEARCH LLC Associated Persons (AS DEFINED HEREUNDER) (along with or through its members, partners, affiliates, employees, and/or consultants), clients, and investors, and/or their clients and investors have a short position in the securities of a Covered Issuer (and options, swaps, and other derivatives related to these securities), and therefore will realize significant gains in the event that the prices of a Covered Issuer’s securities decline. Likely, you should assume that as of the publication date of any GRIZZLY RESEARCH LLC’s long-biased report, certain GRIZZLY RESEARCH LLC Associated Persons, clients and investors, and/or their clients and investors have a material long position in all securities covered herein, and therefore stands to realize significant gains in the event that the price of any securities covered herein rises.Certain reports, whether long- or short-biased of a Covered Issuer, may also contain the opinions of other issuers in which GRIZZLY RESEARCH LLC Associated Persons, clients and investor, and/or their clients and investors may have a long position.
Following publication of any long or short report, GRIZZLY RESEARCH LLC and GRIZZLY RESEARCH LLC Associated Persons are likely to continue to transact in Covered Issuers’ securities for an indefinite period after an initial report on a Covered Issuer, and such position(s) may be long, short, or neutral at any time hereafter regardless of their initial position(s) and views as stated in GRIZZLY RESEARCH LLC’S research. One or more GRIZZLY RESEARCH LLC associated Persons have provided GRIZZLY RESEARCH LLC with publicly available information that GRIZZLY RESEARCH LLC has included in this report, following GRIZZLY RESEARCH LLC’S independent due diligence. YOU SHOULD DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENT DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES COVERED HEREIN. THE OPINIONS EXPRESSED IN THIS REPORT ARE NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE NOR SHOULD THEY BE CONSTRUED AS INVESTMENT ADVICE OR ANY RECOMMENDATION OF ANY KIND. FOLLOWING PUBLICATION OF THIS REPORT, WE MAY CONTINUE TRANSACTING IN THE SECURITIES COVERED THEREIN, AND WE MAY BE LONG, SHORT, OR NEUTRAL AT ANY TIME HEREAFTER REGARDLESS OF OUR INITIAL OPINION.
In order to manage risk, we may close open positions as we deem prudent. We do not provide “price targets”, although we may express our opinion of what the security is worth. An opinion of the value of a security differs from a price target in that we do not purport to have any insight as to how the market as a whole might value a security – we can only speak for how we, ourselves, view its value. We therefore do not hold a position until it reaches a certain price target, nor do we hold positions until they reach the price at which we have expressed a valuation opinion. There are numerous factors that enter into investment decisions aside from opinions of the value of the security, including without limitation, the borrow cost of a shorted security, the potential for a “short squeeze”, prudent risk sizing relative to capital and volatility, reduced information asymmetry, the opportunity cost of capital, client expectations, and the ability to hedge market risk, among other things. Therefore, you should assume that upon publication of any report, we will, or have begun to, close a substantial portion – possibly the entirety – of our positions in the covered issuer’s securities.
To the best of our ability and belief, all information contained herein is accurate and reliable, and has been obtained from public sources we believe to be accurate and reliable, and who are not insiders or connected persons of the stock covered herein or who may otherwise owe any fiduciary duty or duty of confidentiality to the issuer. Note that researched companies and insiders, agents, and legal representatives of researched companies and other entities mentioned herein may be in possession of material non-public information that may be relevant to the matters discussed herein. Do not presume that any person or company mentioned herein has reviewed our report prior to its publication.
This is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security, nor shall any security be offered or sold to any person, in any jurisdiction in which such offer would be unlawful under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
By downloading and opening this report you knowingly and independently agree: (i) that any dispute arising from your use of this report or viewing the material herein shall be governed by the laws of the State of [New York], without regard to any conflict of law provisions; (ii) to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the superior courts located within the State of [New York] and waive your right to any other jurisdiction or applicable law, given that Grizzly Research LLC is a Delaware limited liability company; and (iii) that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of this website or the material herein must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
