Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains "forward-looking statements," within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, Section 21E of the Exchange Act and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the context of the statement and generally arise when the Company or its management is discussing its beliefs, estimates or expectations. Such statements generally include the words "believes," "plans," "intends," "targets," "will," "expects," "estimates," "suggests," "anticipates," "outlook," "continues," or similar expressions. These statements are not historical facts or guarantees of future performance but instead represent only the beliefs of the Company and its management at the time the statements were made regarding future events which are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the Company's control. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from what is contained in such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation: (1) the inability to consummate the Merger within the anticipated time period, or at all, due to any reason; (2) the risk that the Merger disrupts the Company's current plans and operations or diverts management's attention from its ongoing business; (3) the effect of the announcement of the Merger on the ability of the Company to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with its customers, suppliers and others with whom it does business; (4) the effect of the announcement of the Merger on the Company's operating results and business generally; (5) the amount of costs, fees and expenses related to the Merger; (6) the risk that the Company's stock price may decline significantly if the Merger is not consummated; (7) the nature, cost and outcome of any litigation and other legal proceedings, including any such proceedings related to the Merger and instituted against the Company and others; and (8) other risks to consummation of the proposed Merger.
If the Merger is consummated, the Company's stockholders will cease to have any
equity interest in the Company and will have no right to participate in its
earnings and future growth. These and other factors are identified and described
in more detail in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
