Forward Looking Statements
–Information set forth in this communication, oral statements made by representatives of Hewlett Packard Enterprise or Micro Focus regarding the Transaction, and other information published by Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Micro Focus, including statements as to Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s and Micro Focus’s outlook and financial estimates and statements as to the expected timing, completion and effects of the proposed merger between a wholly-owned subsidiary of Micro Focus and HPE’s non-core software assets, which will immediately follow the proposed spin-off of HPE’s non-core software assets from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (collectively, the “Transaction”), constitute or may be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements (including within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). These estimates and statements are prospective in nature and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
–These statements are based on various assumptions and the current expectations of the management of Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Micro Focus, and may not be accurate because of risks and uncertainties surrounding these assumptions and expectations. Such forward-looking statements should therefore be construed in light of such factors. Neither Hewlett Packard Enterprise nor Micro Focus, nor any of their respective associates or directors, officers or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this communication will actually occur or that if any of the events occur, that the effect on the operations or financial condition of Hewlett Packard Enterprise or Micro Focus will be as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements included herein are made as of the date hereof, and, other than in accordance with their legal or regulatory obligations (including under the UK Listing Rules, EU Market Abuse Regulation, the UK Disclosure and Transparency Rules and federal securities laws, as relevant), Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Micro Focus undertake no obligation, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Micro Focus expressly disclaim any intention or obligation, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
–Some forward-looking statements discuss Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s or Micro Focus’s plans, strategies and intentions. They use words such as “expects,” “may,” “will,” “believes,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “approximately,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “targets,” “intends,” “likely,” “projects,” “positioned,” “strategy,” “future” and “plans.” In addition, these words may use the positive or negative or other variations of those terms. Forward-looking statements in this communication include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the expected effects on Hewlett Packard Enterprise, HPE’s non-core software assets and Micro Focus of the proposed Transaction, the anticipated timing and benefits of the Transaction, including future financial and operating results, the tax consequences of the Transaction to Hewlett Packard Enterprise or its stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the combined company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Forward-looking statements also include all other statements in this communication that are not historical facts.
–Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statement include, but are not limited to: the satisfaction of the conditions to the Transaction and other risks related to the completion of the Transaction and actions related thereto; Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s and Micro Focus’s ability to complete the Transaction on the anticipated terms and schedule, including the ability to obtain shareholder and regulatory approvals and the anticipated tax treatment of the Transaction and related transactions; risks relating to any unforeseen changes to or effects on liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, indebtedness, financial condition, losses and future prospects; Micro Focus’s ability to integrate HPE’s non-core software assets successfully after the closing of the Transaction and to achieve anticipated synergies; the risk that disruptions from the Transaction will harm Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s or Micro Focus’s businesses; and the effect of economic, competitive, legal, governmental and technological factors and other factors described under “Risk Factors” in Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. For a discussion of important factors which could cause actual results to differ from forward looking statements relating to Micro Focus and the Micro Focus Group, please refer to Micro Focus’ Annual Report and Accounts 2016. However, it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, while the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties.
