This Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. We are providing cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements contained herein. Any statements that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, future events or performance (often, but not always identifiable by the use of the words or phrases such as “will result,” “expects to,” “will continue,” “anticipates,” “plans, “intends,” “estimated,” “projects,” and “outlook”) are not historical facts and may be forward-looking and, accordingly, such statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this Report are based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: those described under the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 8, 2015 and September 10, 2015, most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 26, 2015, as well as in other past filings with the SEC, and risks and uncertainties relating to the bankruptcy filing by the Company, including but not limited to, (i) the Company’s ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval with respect to motions in the Chapter 11 Cases, (ii) the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases, (iii) the effects of the Company’s bankruptcy filing on the Company and on the interests of various constituents, (iv) Bankruptcy Court rulings in the Chapter 11 Cases and the outcome of the cases in general, (v) the length of time the Company will operate under the Chapter 11 Cases, (vi) risks associated with third party motions in the Chapter 11 Cases, which may interfere with the Company’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement, (vii) the potential adverse effects of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Company’s liquidity or results of operations, (viii) the ability to operate the Company’s business and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement, (ix) the transactions contemplated by the DIP Credit Agreement, and the Restructuring Support Agreement being subject to closing conditions, which conditions may not be satisfied for various reasons, including for reasons outside of the Company’s control, (x) increased legal costs to execute the Company’s reorganization, and other risks and uncertainties, (xi) the Company’s ability to maintain contracts, trade credit and other customer and/or vendor relationships that are essential to the Company’s operations, and (xii) the Company’s ability to retain key executives and employees. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after such statements are made.
