Exhibit 99.1
Investor Presentation November 2019
Safe Harbor 2 All statements in this presentation that are not based on historical fact are "forward looking statements." While management has based any forward looking statements included in this presentation on its current expectations, the information on which such expectations were based may change. These forward looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to materially differ from such statements. Such risks, uncertainties, and other factors include, but are not limited to, whether the patents for our technology provide adequate protection and whether we can be successful in maintaining, enforcing and defending our patents, whether demand for our products, which we believe are disruptive, will develop and whether we can compete successfully with other manufacturers and suppliers of power semiconductor products, both now and in the future, as new products are developed and marketed. Furthermore, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment where new and unanticipated risks may arise. Accordingly, investors should not place any reliance on forward looking statements as a prediction of actual results. We disclaim any intention to, and undertake no obligation to, update or revise forward looking statements.
