Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report onForm 8-K may contain “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the anticipated value of the contingent value rights, the Company’s expectations, hopes or intentions regarding the future, including but not limited to statements regarding the Company’s operating or other strategic plans, including the Company’s competition, financing, revenues, or tax benefits; the Company’s beliefs regarding the sufficiency of the Company’s existing cash and credit sources, and cash flows from operating activities to meet the Company’s projected expenditures (including operating and maintenance capital expenditures); the Company’s required capital expenditures pursuant to agreements it is party to, and the Company’s anticipated capital expenditures, estimated asset and liability values; risk of counterparty nonperformance; the Company’s legal strategies and the potential effect of pending legal claims on the Company’s business and financial condition; and any financial or other information included herein based upon or otherwise incorporating judgments or estimates based upon future performance or events. Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect” or “anticipate” and any other similar words. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in any of its forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of its forward-looking statements. The Company’s future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and to inherent risks and uncertainties, such as those disclosed or incorporated by reference in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements represent the Company’s estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Current Report onForm 8-K. The Company expressly disclaims any duty to provide updates to forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, after the date of this Current Report onForm 8-K, in order to reflect changes in circumstances or expectations or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed above and under “Risk Factors” set forth in Part I Item 1A and elsewhere of the Company’s Annual Report onForm 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2017, in Part I Item 4 and elsewhere of the Company’s Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q, filed with the SEC on August 1, 2017, and in the Company’s Current Report onForm 8-K, filed with the SEC on October 2, 2017, as well as the risks and uncertainties discussed in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. The Company qualifies all of its forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. The Company cautions you that these risks are not exhaustive. The Company operates in a continually changing business environment and new risks emerge from time to time.
