Forward Looking Statements.
The press release attached to this Form8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not historical facts, but rather statements based on the Company’s current expectations regarding its business strategies and its intended results and future performance. Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends” and similar expressions, as well as any statements related to future expectations of performance or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could” or “may.”
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Numerous risks and uncertainties could cause or contribute to the Company’s actual results, performance, and achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is available on the Company’s website (www.farmersbankgroup.com) and on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov). Factors that may cause or contribute to these differences may also include, without limitation, the Company’s failure to integrate Maple Leaf and its subsidiary Geauga Savings Bank in accordance with expectations; deviations from performance expectations related to Maple Leaf and Geauga Savings Bank; general economic conditions, including changes in market interest rates and changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government; legislative and regulatory changes; competitive conditions in the banking markets served by the Company’s subsidiaries; the adequacy of the allowance for losses on loans and the level of future provisions for losses on loans; and other factors disclosed periodically in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Because of the risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them, whether included in this report or made elsewhere from time to time by the Company or on the Company’s behalf. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
