Forward Looking Statements

 

Certain statements either contained in or incorporated by reference into this document are “forward looking statements.” The use of words such as “anticipates,” “hopes,” “may,” “should,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans” and “believes,” among others, generally identify forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to the expected tender offer commencement date. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including, among others, the risks and uncertainties inherent in the offer and the merger, including, among other things, regarding how many of the Company stockholders will tender their shares in the offer, the possibility that competing offers will be made, the ability to satisfy the conditions to the closing of the offer and the merger, the expected timing of the offer and the merger, the possibility that the merger will not be completed, difficulties or unanticipated expenses in connection with integrating the parties’ operations, products and employees and the possibility that anticipated synergies and other anticipated benefits of the transaction will not be realized in the amounts expected, within the expected timeframe or at all, the effect of the announcement of the offer and the merger on the Company’s and Crown’s business relationships (including, without limitations, partners and customers), the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, the expected tax treatment of the transaction, and the impact of the transaction on the businesses of the Company and Crown, and other circumstances beyond the Company’s and Crown’s control. You should not place undue reliance on these forward looking statements. Certain of these and other risks and uncertainties are discussed in Company’s and Crown’s filings with the SEC, including the Schedule TO (including the offer to purchase, letter of transmittal and related documents) Crown and Merger Sub will file with the SEC, and the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 the Company will file with the SEC, and the Company’s most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings with the SEC. Except as required by law, neither we nor the Buyer Parties undertake any duty to update forward-looking statements to reflect events after the date of this document.
