Forward-Looking Statements Forward-Looking Statements 2 Certain statements included in this communication, including those that express management’s expectations or estimates of SXC’s or the combined company’s future performance, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management at this time, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. SXC cautions that such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other risks that may cause SXC’s actual financial results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from SXC’s estimated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. Numerous factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation, SXC’s ability to achieve increased market acceptance for SXC’s product offerings and penetrate new markets; consolidation in the healthcare industry; the existence of undetected errors or similar problems in SXC’s software products; SXC’s ability to identify and complete acquisitions, manage SXC’s growth and integrate acquisitions; SXC’s ability to compete successfully; potential liability for the use of incorrect or incomplete data; the length of the sales cycle for SXC’s healthcare software solutions; interruption of SXC’s operations due to outside sources; SXC’s dependence on key customers; maintaining SXC’s intellectual property rights and litigation involving intellectual property rights; SXC’s ability to obtain, use or successfully integrate third-party licensed technology; compliance with existing laws, regulations and industry initiatives and future change in laws or regulations in the healthcare industry; breach of SXC’s security by third parties; SXC’s dependence on the expertise of SXC’s key personnel; SXC’s access to sufficient capital to fund SXC’s future requirements; and potential write-offs of goodwill or other intangible assets. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of SXC’s forward-looking statements. Other factors that should be considered are discussed from time to time in SXC’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the risks and uncertainties discussed under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in SXC’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Form 10-Qs, which are available at www.sec.gov. Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward- looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to SXC or persons acting on SXC’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. SXC disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Certain of the assumptions made in preparing forward-looking information and management’s expectations include: maintenance of SXC’s existing customers and contracts, SXC’s ability to market SXC’s products successfully to anticipated customers, the impact of increasing competition, the growth of prescription drug utilization rates at predicted levels, the retention of SXC’s key personnel, SXC’s customers continuing to process transactions at historical levels, that SXC’s systems will not be interrupted for any significant period of time, that SXC’s products will perform free of major errors, SXC’s ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms and that there will be no significant changes in the regulation of SXC’s business.
