You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and we undertake no obligation to update any such statements. Specific risks in this presentation include whether shareholders approve the merger, whether the companies receive regulatory approvals, the timing of closing, whether the companies have accurately predicted acquisition and consolidation expenses, the timing and amount of savings from consolidation, the expected earnings contributions of both companies and management’s ability to effectively integrate the companies.
