The transcript filed with this Current Report on exhibit 99.1 contains forward-looking statements concerning prospects and trends for the cable industry, demand for the products produced by ARRIS and C-COR, expectations with respect to the combination of ARRIS and C-COR, including expected benefits and synergies, the outcome of the shareholder vote, and the timing of the closing; and the assumptions relating to the foregoing. The statements in this presentation that use such words as ”believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “contemplate,” “estimate,” or “plan,” or similar expressions also are forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in, or suggested by, any forward-looking statement. Specific factors that could cause such material differences include: the outcome of the shareholder votes and the ultimate closing of the acquisition of C-COR by ARRIS, the effectiveness and timing of the integration of the operations of ARRIS and C-COR, and the strength of the capital markets and the general economy. Other risks include capital spending levels by our customers based in part on demand for broadband services, customer adoption of our technologies, development and marketing of technology by our competitors and risks associated with potential acquisitions. This list of factors is representative of the factors which could affect our forward-looking statements and is not intended as an all encompassing list of such factors.
