The forward–looking statements contained in this presentation are largely based on our expectations, which reflect estimates and assumptions made by our management. These estimates and assumptions reflect our best judgment based on currently known market conditions and other factors. Although we believe such estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control. In addition, management’s assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate. Management cautions all readers that the forward–looking statements contained in this presentation are not guarantees of future performance, and we cannot assure any reader that such statements will be realized or the forward–looking events and circumstances will occur. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward–looking statements due to factors listed in the “Risk Factors” section in our SEC filings and elsewhere in those filings. All forward–looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. We do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward–looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf. |
