Safe Harbor 4 This presentation includes forward-looking statements, reflecting current analysis and expectations, based on what are believed to be reasonable assumptions. Forward-looking statements may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results to differ materially from those projected, stated or implied, depending on many factors, including, without limitation: the inability to compare the company’s financial condition or results historically due to fresh start accounting; the company’s emergence from bankruptcy will reduce or eliminate certain tax benefits; the company’s emergence from bankruptcy may adversely effect its operations going forward; the company’s dependence on the automotive industry; the company’s dependence on certain major customers; the company's ability to generate cash to service its indebtedness and dividend obligations of preferred shares; availability and cost of raw materials; the uncertainty of the company’s ability to meet significant increases in demand; competition in the industry; sovereign and other risks related to the company conducting operations outside the United States; the uncertainty of the company’s ability to achieve expected cost reduction savings; the company’s exposure to product liability and warranty claims; labor conditions; escalating pricing pressures from our customers; the company’s ability to meet customers’ needs for new and improved products in a timely manner; potential conflicts of interests between certain shareholders and the company; the company’s legal rights to its intellectual property portfolio; the company’s underfunded pension plans; the actual return on pension assets, environmental and other regulations; the possibility that the company’s acquisition strategy will not be successful; and the possibility of impairment charges relating to goodwill and long- lived assets. There may be other factors that may cause the company’s actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statement. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that Cooper Standard will meet future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. This paragraph is included to provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements, which are not generally required to be publicly revised as circumstances change and which Cooper Standard does not intend to update. There may be other factors that may cause the company’s actual results to differ materially from the forward- looking statements. Cooper Standard undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. cooperstandard |
