Safe Harbor Statement
This communication contains certain statements related to future results, or states the Company’s intentions, beliefs and expectations or predictions for the future which are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections of the management of the Company about future events. Forward-looking statements are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this communication include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the expected effects of the Transaction on the Company and the expected timing and scope of the Transaction. Forward-looking statements can often, but not always, be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “plans,” “expects,” “is subject to,” “budget,” “scheduled,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes” or variations of such words, phrases and statements that certain actions, events or results “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot give assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the matters set forth under “Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in Part I, Item 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and in Part I, Item 2 of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019. Other factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include the Company’s ability to obtain the approval of shareholders for the Transaction, to obtain the approval of the High Court of Justice of England and Wales for the Transaction, to satisfy the other conditions to the Transaction on the expected timeframe, or at all, and to realize the expected benefits from the Transaction, as well as the occurrence of unanticipated difficulties or costs in connection with the Transaction.
These factors are not exhaustive. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should therefore be construed in the light of such factors. None of the Company or any of its respective associates, directors, officers or advisers provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement will actually occur. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. Other than in accordance with its legal or regulatory obligations, the Company is not under any obligation, and the Company expressly disclaims any intention or obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information about factors that could materially affect the Company, including its results of operations and financial condition, is set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and in Part II, Item 1A of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10 Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019.
