Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this annual report to our stockholders are ‘‘forward-looking statements’’
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements give our
current expectations or forecasts of future events and our future performance and do not relate directly
to historical or current events or our historical or current performance. Most of these statements contain
words that identify them as forward-looking, such as ‘‘anticipate,’’ estimate,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘project,’’
‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘plan,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘seek,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘opportunity,’’ ‘‘target’’ or other words that relate to
future events, as opposed to past or current events.
Forward-looking statements are based on the then-current expectations, forecasts and assumptions of
our management and involve risks and uncertainties, some of which are outside of our control, that
could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from current expectations. For some of the
factors that could cause such differences, please see the section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2008, which is included in this annual report to our stockholders, under
the heading ‘‘Item 1A.—Risk Factors’’ and the cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements
appearing in the section entitled ‘‘Introductory Note’’ in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We cannot assure you that the assumptions made in preparing any of the forward-looking statements
will prove accurate or that any projections will be realized. We expect that there will be differences
between projected and actual results. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. We
caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking
statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements
contained herein.
