Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "expect," "estimate," "project," "budget," "forecast," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "may," "will," "could," "should," "would," "poised," "believes," "predicts," "potential," "continue," and similar expressions, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements; however the absence of these words does not mean the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are intended to provide investors with additional information with which they may assess the Company’s future potential. Forward-looking statements in this communication include matters that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from results expressed or implied by this communication. Such risk factors include, among others: the effects of and changes in monetary and fiscal policies, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board and their effects on inflation risk; political and economic uncertainty, including any decline in global, domestic or local economic conditions or the stability of credit and financial markets; and other relevant risks described under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and other documents filed, or to be filed, by the Company with the SEC. All such factors are difficult to predict and are beyond the Company's ability to control or predict. All of these forward-looking statements are based on assumptions about an uncertain future and on information available to the Company at the date of these statements. There are numerous risks and uncertainties that could and will cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those contained in the forward-looking statements in this communication. There also may be additional risks that the Company does not presently know, or that the Company currently believes to be immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those contained in these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and, except as otherwise required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events, facts, assumptions or circumstances occurring after the date of this communication. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
