Forward-looking statements are all statements other than those of historical fact, and generally may be identified by the use of words such as "believe" "looking" or other similar expressions that indicate future events or trends. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding VWE's strategies related to hiring, the ability of Farzana Shubarna to drive increased efficiencies and best-in-class practices to the Company as Vice President of Operations, and the expect results and performance of Ms. Shubarna with the Company. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this news release, and on the current expectations of VWE's management. These forward-looking statements are not intended to serve as, and should not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee of actual performance or an assurance or definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and may differ materially from those contained in or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of VWE.

There may be additional risks including other adjustments that VWE does not presently know or that VWE currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect VWE's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date and time of this news release.
