| Safe Harbor Statement Certain statements included in this press release constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the federal securities laws. Statements that include the words “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “forecast,” “estimate,” “expect,” “preliminary,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “outlook” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these statements. These forward-looking statements include statements that reflect the current views of our senior management with respect to our financial performance and future events with respect to our business and industry in general. Forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to, the risks related to the following: our post-restructuring financial condition, financing requirements and cash flow; the inability to provide assurance for the long-term continued viability of our business; limitations on our operating and strategic flexibility and the ability to operate our business, finance our capital needs or expand business strategies under the terms of our debt agreements; results from any failure to comply with the financial covenants and other restrictive covenants in our debt agreements; limited access to capital markets and increased borrowing costs resulting from our leveraged capital structure and recent debt ratings; reduced advertising spending by our clients and contract cancellations resulting from the current economic environment, which drives reduced revenues; competition from other yellow pages directory publishers and other traditional and new media and our ability to anticipate or respond to changes in technology and user preferences; declining use of print yellow pages directories by consumers; our ability to complete the implementation of our plan of reorganization and the discharge of our Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases, including successfully resolving any remaining claims; any negative client, vendor, carrier and third-party responses resulting from the implementation of our confirmed plan of reorganization; the impact that the filing for and emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy has had and could continue to have on our business operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flow; changes in the availability and cost of paper and other raw materials used to print our directories and our reliance on third-party providers for printing and distribution services; increased credit risk associated with our reliance on small- and medium-sized businesses as clients, in the current economic environment; changes in our operating performance; our ability to attract and retain qualified key personnel; our ability to maintain good relations with our unionized employees; changes in labor, business, political and economic conditions; changes in governmental regulations and policies and actions of regulatory bodies; and the outcome of pending or future litigation and other claims. The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the information in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. All forward-looking statements included in this report are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and, other than as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. |
