ITEM 9.01 | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS |
99 | Great-West Lifeco Inc. Press Release dated February 15, 2007 |
This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. In particular, statements using verbs such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe” or words of similar import generally involve forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, forward-looking statements include statements which represent the Registrant’s beliefs concerning future or projected levels of sales of the Registrant’s products, investment spreads or yields, or the earnings or profitability of the Registrant’s activities. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Registrant’s control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Registrant. Whether or not actual results differ materially from forward-looking statements may depend on numerous foreseeable and unforeseeable events or developments, some of which may be national in scope, such as general economic conditions and interest rates, some of which may be related to the insurance industry generally, such as pricing competition, regulatory developments and industry consolidation, and others of which may relate to the Registrant specifically, such as credit, volatility and other risks associated with the Registrant’s investment portfolio, and other factors. Readers should also consider other matters, including any risks and uncertainties, discussed in documents filed by the Registrant and certain of its subsidiaries with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
