Forward-Looking Statements
This report, as well as our Annual Report to Shareholders, quarterly reports, and other filings we make
with the SEC, press releases and other written and oral communications, contains “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as
“may,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “projects,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “targets,” “anticipates” and
similar expressions are used to identify these forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking
statements include statements relating to our future financial condition and operating results, as well as
any other statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact.
Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions, which may not prove
to be accurate. These statements are not guarantees and are subject to risks, uncertainties and changes
in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Many factors, including those set forth in the “Risk Factors”
section below could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from these forward-looking
statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we assume
no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock or debt securities involves risks and uncertainties and our actual
results and future trends may differ materially from our past or projected future performance. We urge
investors to consider carefully the risk factors described below in evaluating the information contained in
