Information Not “Filed”

 

The information in Item 8.01 of this Report and the Release attached as Exhibit 99.1, and any information that may be conveyed in such conference call, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. It shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing by us under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

Statements contained in this Report and the attached Release, and any statements that may be made in such conference call, include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, including (without limitation) the statements relating to acquisitions, strategies and updates. You also can identify forward-looking statements by our use of terms such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”, “believe”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “continue” or similar words or variations or negatives of those words. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual achievements, business, performance, prospects and results, whether expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, to fail to occur or be realized or to be less than expected. Although such forward-looking statements are generally based upon our plans, intentions and estimates, which we believe reasonable, we cannot assure you that our plans, intentions or estimates will be achieved in whole or in part, that we have identified all potential risks, or that we can successfully avoid or mitigate such risks in whole or in part. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified by all such risk factors and other cautionary statements.

 

You should carefully review the risk factors described in our annual and quarterly reports and other filings under the Exchange Act and Securities Act and any other cautionary statements contained or incorporated by reference therein. However, please note that new risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these matters or how they may arise or affect us. We do not intend or promise, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements or risk factor (in whole or in part), whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as and to the extent required by applicable law.
