Safe Harbor Statement
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements, including without limitation, statements regarding the Commitment Letter, Term Loan and Warrants and the expected closing of the Transaction. In addition, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “should,” “could,” “estimate” or “continue” or the plural, negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements, and any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and are based on management’s current assumptions, beliefs and information. As such, the Company’s actual results could differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statement as a result of various factors. With respect to the Commitment Letter, Term Loan and Warrants, important factors that could cause such differences include, among other things, the risk that a condition to closing of the proposed Term Loan may not be satisfied (or waived), that the closing of the Term Loan might be delayed or not occur at all; potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement of the Commitment Letter or closing of the Term Loan; the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues; the response of competitors to the Commitment Letter. Certain of these judgments and risks are discussed in more detail in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the Company’s objectives or plans will be achieved. The forward-looking statements contained herein reflect the Company’s beliefs, estimates and predictions as of the date hereof, and the Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events for any reason, except as required by law.
