The preliminary financial results referred to in the press release are unaudited and preliminary estimates that have been prepared by management in good faith on a consistent basis with prior periods. However, the Company has not completed its financial closing procedures for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2022, and actual results may differ from these preliminary estimates, and such differences could be material. In addition, Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to these preliminary financial results and does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to these preliminary financial results or their achievability. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or supplement the information provided in the press release until it releases its financial statements for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2022.
