Forward Looking Statements and Other Information
This presentation contains forward-looking statements. The Company’s representatives may also make forward-looking statements orally from time to time. Statements in this presentation that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company’s beliefs and expectations, particularly regarding the financial and strategic impact of acquiring the Zyman Group, recent business and economic trends, potential acquisitions, estimates of amounts for deferred acquisition consideration and “put” option rights, constitute forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and are subject to change based on a number of factors, including those outlined in this section. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Such risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
• risks associated with effects of national and regional economic conditions;
• the Company’s ability to attract new clients and retain existing clients;
• the financial success of the Company’s clients;
• the Company’s ability to remain in compliance with its credit facility;
• risks arising from potential material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting;
• the Company’s ability to retain and attract key employees;
• the successful completion and integration of acquisitions which complement and expand the Company’s business capabilities;
• and, foreign currency fluctuations.
Investors should carefully consider these risk factors and the additional risk factors outlined in more detail in the Company’s SEC filings.
