are generally not historical in nature. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on the Company. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those that are anticipated. The Company’s forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Company’s control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s historical experience and present expectations or projections. Known material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include: the Board of Directors may choose to postpone or abandon the Merger at any time, including after stockholder approval; changes in U.S. or non-U.S. laws, including tax laws, that could effectively preclude the Company from completing the Merger or reduce or eliminate the benefits expected to be achieved from the Merger; an inability to satisfy all of the conditions to closing set forth in the Merger Agreement; an inability to realize expected benefits from the Merger or the occurrence of difficulties in connection with the Merger; and costs related to the Merger, which could be greater than expected. Stockholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained in this report, which speak only as of the date of this report. Forward-looking statements also are affected by the risk factors described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as amended, and those set forth from time-to-time in other filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
