Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This current report on Form 8-K may include statements and information that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. securities laws as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, and such statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provided by the same. Forward-looking statements are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the Company’s control. These forward-looking statements include information about the Company’s ability to meet its expected margin calls and the ability to reach an agreement with financing counterparties, information about the Company’s upcoming dividend payments and the Company’s ability to pay any such dividends, as well as any other statements other than statements of historical fact. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continue,” “intend,” “should,” “may” or similar expressions and future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” and “would,” and any other statement that necessarily depends on future events, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations of the Company’s future performance, taking into account all information currently available. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to the Company. For example, the ability to meet margin calls may be delayed or they may not be met at all, and payment of the dividends discussed above may be further delayed or may not be paid at all. Some of the other factors are described in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible to predict those events or how they may affect the Company. Except as required by law, the Company is not obligated to, and does not intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
