Important Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains, or may contain, “forward-looking statements” concerning Boyd, PGP and PGL, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “may,” “should,” “could,” and other future-oriented terms identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the following: (i) the expected benefits of the merger, the expected accretive effect of the merger on Boyd's financial results and profile, expected cost, revenue, EBITDA, margin, and synergies, the expected impact for customers and employees, future capital expenditures, expenses, revenues, earnings, economic performance, financial condition, losses and future prospects; (ii) the anticipated benefits of geographic diversity that would result from the merger; the expected results of PGL's gaming properties, including, without limitation, Kansas Star; (iii) future industry developments and trends; (iv) the anticipated completion of the proposed merger, and the anticipated financing of the merger; and (v) assumptions underlying any of the foregoing statements.
These forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of management and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Many of these risks and uncertainties relate to factors that are beyond Boyd's ability to control or estimate precisely and include, without limitation: the ability to obtain governmental or gaming approvals of the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, or to satisfy other conditions to the merger on the proposed terms and timeframe; the possibility that the merger does not close when expected or at all, or that the companies may be required to modify aspects of the merger to achieve regulatory approval; the ability to realize the expected synergies or other benefits from the transaction in the amounts or in the timeframe anticipated; the ability to integrate PGL in a timely and cost-efficient manner with Boyd; uncertainties in the global economy and credit markets; and rates of change in, margins, market share, capital expenditures, revenue and operating expenses generally; volatility in quarterly results and in the stock price of Boyd; access to capital markets; the ability to manage and grow Boyd's cash position following the merger; the sufficiency of Boyd's financial resources to support future business activities (including but not limited to operations, investments, debt service requirements and capital expenditures); the impact of legal proceedings; and other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed from time to time in Boyd's periodic reports (whether under the caption Risk Factors or Forward Looking Statements or elsewhere). Boyd can give no assurances that such forward-looking statements will prove to have been correct. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this announcement. Neither Boyd nor any other person undertakes any obligation to update or revise publicly any of the forward-looking statements set out herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a forecast, projection or estimate of the future financial performance of Boyd following the implementation of the merger or otherwise. No statement in this announcement should be interpreted to mean that the earnings per share, profits, margins or cash flows of Boyd for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published figures.
