Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
• Risks related to litigation, government investigations and other legal proceedings as they relate to our business, the
pharmacy services, retail pharmacy, LTC pharmacy or retail clinic industries or to the health care industry generally.
• The risk that any condition related to the closing of any proposed acquisition may not be satisfied on a timely
basis or at all, including the inability to obtain required regulatory approvals of any proposed acquisition, or on the
terms desired or anticipated; the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could
adversely affect the resulting combined company or the expected benefits of any proposed transaction; and the
risk that the proposed transactions fail to close for any other reason.
• The possibility that the anticipated synergies and other benefits from any acquisition by us will not be realized,
or will not be realized within the expected time periods.
• The risks and uncertainties related to our ability to integrate the operations, products, services and employees
of any entities acquired by us and the effect of the potential disruption of management’s attention from ongoing
business operations due to any pending acquisitions.
• The accessibility or availability of adequate financing on a timely basis and on reasonable terms in connection
with any proposed acquisition.
• Risks related to the outcome of any legal proceedings related to, or involving any entity that is a part of, any
proposed acquisition contemplated by us.
• Other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC.
The foregoing list is not exhaustive. There can be no assurance that the Company has correctly identified and
appropriately assessed all factors affecting its business. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known
to the Company or that it currently believes to be immaterial also may adversely impact the Company. Should any
risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. For these reasons, you are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking statements.
