Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This
document and the exhibits filed herewith contain forward-looking
statements with respect to the Company, Kingswood and the
Transactions, including the benefits expected from the Transactions
and the expected timing of their completion. Actual results
may differ materially from these expectations. When used in this
document, the words “can,” “will,”
“intends,” “expects,” “is
expected,” similar expressions and any other statements that
are not historical facts are intended to identify those assertions
as forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on a
number of assumptions that could ultimately prove inaccurate, and
are subject to a number of risk factors, including uncertainties
regarding the timing of the closing of the Transactions,
uncertainties as to how many stockholders of the Company may tender
their stock in the Offer, the possibility that a governmental
entity may prohibit, delay or refuse to grant approval for the
consummation of the Transactions, and general economic and business
conditions. Factors that could cause actual results of the
Transactions to differ materially include the following: the risk
of failing to obtain any regulatory approvals or satisfy conditions
to the Transactions, the risk that Kingswood is unable to obtain
adequate financing, the risk that the Transactions will not close
or that closing will be delayed, the risk that the Company’s
businesses will suffer due to uncertainty related to the
Transactions, the competitive environment in our industry and
competitive responses to the Transactions as well as risk factors
set forth above. Further information on factors that could
affect the Company’s financial results is provided in
documents filed by the Company with the SEC, including the
Company’s recent filings on Form 10-Q and Form
10-K.
Accordingly, no
assurances can be given as to whether the Transactions will be
completed or if any of the other events anticipated by the
forward-looking statements will occur or what impact they will
have. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof
and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are
qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement and
neither the Company nor Kingswood assumes any obligation to update
any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, except as required by
applicable law.
