Safe Harbor Statement
Safe Harbor Statement
This
presentation
(including
information
incorporated
or
deemed
incorporated
by
reference
herein)
contains
“forward-looking
statements”
within
the
meaning
of
the
Private
Litigation
Reform
Act
of
1995.
Forward-looking
statements
are
those
involving
future
events
and
future
results
that
are
based
on
current
expectations,
estimates,
forecasts,
and
projects
as
well
as
the
current
beliefs
and
assumptions
of
our
management.
Words
such
as
“outlook”,
“believes”,
“expects”,
“appears”,
“may”,
“will”,
“should”,
“anticipates”,
or
the
negative
thereof
or
comparable
terminology,
are
intended
to
identify
such
forward
looking
statements.
Any
statement
that
is
not
a
historical
fact,
including
estimates,
projections,
future
trends
and
the
outcome
of
events
that
have
not
yet
occurred,
is
a
forward-looking
statement.
Forward-looking
statements
are
only
predictions
and
are
subject
to
risks,
uncertainties
and
assumptions
that
are
difficult
to
predict.
Therefore
actual
results
may
differ
materially
and
adversely
from
those
expressed
in
any
forward-looking
statements. 
Factors
that
might
cause
or
contribute
to
such
differences
include,
but
are
not
limited
to,
those
discussed
under
the
section
entitled
“Risk
Factors”
in
our
reports
filed
with
the
SEC.
Many
of
such
factors
relate
to
events
and
circumstances
that
are
beyond
our
control.
You
should
not
place
undue
reliance
on
forward-looking
statements.
