Forward-Looking Statements
This report on Form 10-K, as well as other written reports and oral statements that we make from time to time,
includes statements that express our opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections
regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “seeks,”
“projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or
comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and
depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Our actual results and the timing of certain
events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain
factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report and in our
other public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC.
Although we base these forward-looking statements on assumptions that we believe are reasonable when made,
we caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual
results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate
may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this
report. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the
industry in which we operate, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this report, those
results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.
Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking
statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of those statements to reflect future events
or developments.
