FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Prospectus contains statements under the captions "Prospectus Summary", "Risk
Factors" and elsewhere that are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements". In
some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology, including the words "believes", "estimates", "anticipates", "expects", "intends",
"targets", "may", "will", "plans", "continue" or "should" or, in each case, their negative or other
variations or comparable terminology or by discussions of strategies, plans, objectives, goals,
future events or intentions. The forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus
include certain targets. These targets reflect goals that Issuer is aiming to achieve and do not
constitute forecasts.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus include all matters that are not
historical facts and include statements regarding the Issuers' intentions, beliefs or current
expectations concerning, among other things, the results of operations, financial condition,
liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and dividend policy and the industries and markets in
which the Issuer operates. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks and uncertainties because they relate to events, and depend on
circumstances, that may or may not occur in the future. Forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future performance. Prospective investors should not place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements.
Many factors could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Issuer to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Some of these factors are
discussed in more detail under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this Prospectus as
anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. The Issuer does not intend, and does not
assume any obligation, to update forward-looking statements set forth in this Prospectus after
the end of the offer.
