Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This
communication contains certain statements relating to future events and
our intentions, beliefs, expectations and predictions for the future
which are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words or phrases such
as "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is
anticipated," "we believe," "we expect," "estimate," "project," "may,"
"will," "intend," "plan," "believe," "target," "forecast" (including the
negative or variations thereof) or similar terminology used in
connection with any discussion of future plans, actions or events
generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding
expected earnings per share accretion from the Champion acquisition,
deal economics and the expected timing of completion of the Champion
acquisition. These statements are based on the current expectations of
management of the company. There are a number of risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements included in this communication. These risks
and uncertainties include (i) the risk that the regulatory approvals or
clearances required for the acquisition may not be obtained, or that
required regulatory approvals may delay the acquisition or result in the
imposition of conditions that could have a material adverse effect on
the company or cause the company to abandon the acquisition, (ii) the
risk that the conditions to the closing of the acquisition may not be
satisfied, (iii) the risk that a material adverse change, event or
occurrence may affect the company or Champion prior to the closing of
the acquisition and may delay the acquisition or cause the company to
abandon the acquisition, (iv) problems that may arise in successfully
integrating the businesses of the company and Champion, which may result
in the combined business not operating as effectively and efficiently as
expected, (v) the possibility that the acquisition may involve
unexpected costs, unexpected liabilities or unexpected delays, (vi) the
risk that the businesses of the company or Champion may suffer as a
result of uncertainty surrounding the acquisition and (vii) the risk
that disruptions from the transaction will harm relationships with
customers, employees and suppliers. In particular, the ultimate results
of any Champion integration and business improvement actions, including
cost synergies, depend on a number of factors, including the development
of final plans, the impact of local regulatory requirements regarding
employee terminations, the time necessary to develop and implement the
integration and other business improvement initiatives and the level of
success achieved through such actions in improving competitiveness,
efficiency and effectiveness.
Additional risks and uncertainties that may affect operating results and
business performance are set forth under Item 1A of our most recent Form
10-Q, our current report on Form 8-K filed
