On October 18, 2022, the Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) issued an authority to operate (“ATO”) to Telos Identity Management Solutions, LLC (“Telos”) for Telos’ PreCheck® System. With TSA approval, Telos is providing its TSA PreCheck® enrollment services for a trial period to a limited population of applicants in order to validate systems and processes in advance of its full implementation as an authorized TSA PreCheck® enrollment provider. Once Telos successfully completes its trial period to the satisfaction of TSA, Telos will launch its services to the public more widely. Telos continues to anticipate this launch will occur in calendar year 2022.

Statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In this context, forward-looking statements may address matters such as the Company’s expected future business and financial performance, and often contain words such as “guidance,” “prospects,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “should,” or “will.” Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Particular uncertainties that could adversely or positively affect the Company’s future results include the Company’s dependence on the U.S. government, including the receipt and timing of any necessary approvals to operate the Company’s programs, and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. These uncertainties may cause the Company’s actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in the Company’s forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.
