2 Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and applicable Canadian securities laws conveying management’s expectations as to the future based on plans, estimates and projections at the time the Company makes the statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties and the Company cautions you that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any such forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements related to the Company’s anticipated second quarter 2010 volumes, revenues and operating income, the anticipated timing of the transaction, the completion of the transaction on the terms proposed, the financing of the transaction on terms currently anticipated, and the potential impact the acquisition will have on the Company. The forward-looking statements are based on assumptions regarding the timing of receipt of the necessary financing and approvals, the time necessary to satisfy the conditions to the closing of the transaction, and management’s current plans and estimates. Management believes these assumptions to be reasonable but there is no assurance that they will prove to be accurate. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in this presentation include, among others: (1) the ability to consummate the proposed transaction; (2) receipt of regulatory approvals without unexpected delays or conditions; (3) changes in estimates of future earnings and cash flows; (4) changes in expectations as to the closing of the transaction; (5) expected synergies and cost savings are not achieved or achieved at a slower pace than expected; (6) integration problems, delays or other related costs; (7) retention of customers and suppliers; (8) the cost of capital necessary to finance the transaction; and (9) unanticipated changes in laws, regulations, or other industry standards affecting the companies. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures, including but not limited to risk factors contained in the Company’s press release issued on July 7, 2010, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010 and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as other periodic reports filed with the securities commissions. The Company does not, except as expressly required by applicable law, undertake to update or revise any of these statements in light of new information or future events. |
