These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about the business process outsourcing industry and our business and financial results. Forward-looking statements often include words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes” and words and terms of similar substance in connection with discussions of future operating or financial performance. As with any projection or forecast, forward-looking statements are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Our actual results may vary

Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements include government regulation, economic, strategic, political and social conditions and the following factors, among others: competitive pressures; changes in interest in outsourced business process services; our ability to obtain adequate pricing for our services and to improve our cost structure; the effects of any acquisitions, joint ventures and divestitures by us; our ability to attract and retain key employees; our ability to attract and retain necessary technical personnel and qualified subcontractors; a decline in revenues from or a loss or failure of significant clients; our ability to estimate the scope of work or the costs of performance in our contracts; the failure to comply with laws relating to individually identifiable information and personal health information and laws relating to processing certain financial transactions, including payment card transactions and debit or credit card transactions; our ability to deliver on our contractual obligations properly and on time; our ability to renew commercial and government contracts awarded through competitive bidding processes; increases in the cost of telephone and data services or significant interruptions in such services; changes in tax and other laws and regulations; increased volatility or decreased liquidity in the capital markets, including any limitation on our ability to access the capital markets for debt securities, refinance our outstanding indebtedness or obtain bank financing on acceptable terms; the impact of terrorist acts, hostilities, natural disasters (including extreme weather) and pandemic viruses; changes in foreign exchange rates; our lack of an operating history as an independent publicly traded company; changes in U.S. GAAP or other applicable accounting policies; the other risks and uncertainties detailed in the section titled “Risk Factors”, the section titled “Legal Proceedings”, our financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto, and the other sections of our Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended, and the section titled “Risk Factors” the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition”, our financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto, and the other sections of our Quarterly Report on Form10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.
