Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This
report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. The Company’s, MiX’s and the combined
business’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on

“estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,”
“plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,”
“potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation,
the parties’ expectations with respect to their beliefs, plans, goals, objectives, expectations, anticipations, assumptions, estimates,
intentions and future performance, as well as anticipated financial impacts of the proposed transaction, the satisfaction of the closing
conditions to the proposed transaction and the timing of the completion of the proposed transaction. Forward-looking statements involve
significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause their actual results, performance or achievements
to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements. Most of these factors
are outside the parties’ control and are difficult to predict. The risks and uncertainties referred to above include, but are not
limited to, risks related to: (i) the completion of the proposed transaction in the anticipated timeframe or at all; (ii) the satisfaction
of the closing conditions to the proposed transaction including, but not limited to, the ability to obtain financing; (iii) the failure
to obtain necessary regulatory approvals; (iv) the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction; (v) the ability
to successfully integrate the businesses; (vi) disruption from the proposed transaction making it more difficult to maintain business
and operational relationships; (vii) the negative effects of the announcement of the proposed transaction or the consummation of the
proposed transaction on the market price of the combined company’s securities; (viii) significant transaction costs and unknown
liabilities; (ix) litigation or regulatory actions related to the proposed transaction; and (x) such other factors as are set forth in
the periodic reports filed by MiX and the Company with the SEC, including but not limited to those described under the heading “Risk
Factors” in their annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and any other filings made with the SEC from time
to time, which are available via the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize,
or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by these
forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements.
The
forward-looking statements included in this report are made only as of the date of this report, and except as otherwise required by applicable
securities law, neither MiX nor the Company assumes any obligation, nor do they intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
