Cautionary Statements
The Company and its representatives from time to time make written and oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including statements in this Current Report, in presentations, press releases and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements are based on management’s analysis, judgment, belief and expectation only as of the date such statements are made, and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “estimate,” “intend” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially due to, among other things, rising health care costs, trends in medical care ratios, operational issues, health care reform and general business conditions. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in any forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risks discussed in the “Risk Factors” section included within the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and the risks discussed in the Company’s other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except to the extent required under federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or publicly revise any forward-looking statement.
