developments and include statements regarding: A) expectations, plans or 
benefits related to our strategies, growth management and operational 
key performance indicators; B) expectations, plans or benefits related 
to future performance of our businesses (including the expected impact, 
timing and duration of that impact of COVID-19 on our businesses, our 
supply chain and our customers' businesses) and any future dividends 
including timing and qualitative and quantitative thresholds associated 
therewith; C) expectations and targets regarding financial performance, 
cash generation, results, the timing of receivables, operating expenses, 
taxes, currency exchange rates, hedging, cost savings, product cost 
reductions and competitiveness, as well as results of operations 
including targeted synergies, better commercial management and those

   These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and 
uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which could cause 
our actual results to differ materially from such statements. These 
statements are based on management's best assumptions and beliefs in 
light of the information currently available to them. These 
forward-looking statements are only predictions based upon our current 
expectations and views of future events and developments and are subject 
to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict because they 
relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the 
future. Factors, including risks and uncertainties that could cause 
these differences include, but are not limited to: 1) our strategy is 
subject to various risks and uncertainties and we may be unable to 
successfully implement our strategic plans, sustain or improve the 
operational and financial performance of our business groups, correctly 
identify or successfully pursue business opportunities or otherwise grow 
our business; 2) general economic and market conditions, general public 
health conditions (including its impact on our supply chains) and other 
developments in the economies where we operate, including the timeline 
for the deployment of 5G and our ability to successfully capitalize on 
that deployment; 3) competition and our ability to effectively and 
profitably invest in existing and new high-quality products, services, 
upgrades and technologies and bring them to market in a timely manner; 
4) our dependence on the development of the industries in which we 
operate, including the cyclicality and variability of the information 
technology and telecommunications industries and our own R&D 
capabilities and investments; 5) our ability to manage and improve our 
financial and operating performance, cost savings, competitiveness and 
synergies generally, expectations and timing around our ability to 
recognize any net sales and our ability to implement changes to our 
organizational and operational structure efficiently; 6) our global 
business and exposure to regulatory, political or other developments in 
various countries or regions, including emerging markets and the 
associated risks in relation to tax matters and exchange controls, among 
others; and 7) the scope and duration of the COVID-19 impact on the 
global economy and financial markets as well as our customers, supply 
chain, product development, service delivery, other operations and our 
financial, tax, pension and other assets, and the shape of the economic 
recovery following the pandemic as well as the risk factors specified in 
our 2020 annual report on Form 20-F published on March 4, 2021 under 
"Operating and financial review and prospects-Risk factors" and in our 
other filings or documents furnished with the U.S. Securities and 
Exchange Commission. Other unknown or unpredictable factors or 
underlying assumptions subsequently proven to be incorrect could cause 
actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking 
statements. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or 
revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new 
information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally 
required.
