CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not
relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,”
“estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs, such as “will,”
“should,” “could,” “may,” “aims,” “intends,” or “projects.” A forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a
guarantee of future events or circumstances, and those future events or circumstances may not occur. You should not
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form
10-K. These forward-looking statements are all based on currently available operating, financial and competitive
information and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Our actual future results and trends may differ
materially depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed under
“Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.
Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual
results. Any or all of the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and any other
public statement made by us, including by our management, may turn out to be incorrect. We are including this
cautionary note to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or
revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
