Harbor Statement
This
press release contains statements that constitute ''forward-looking” statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined
in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Whenever you read
a statement that is not simply a statement of historical fact (such as when we
describe what we “believe,” “expect” or “anticipate” will occur, what “will” or
“could” happen, and other similar statements), you must remember that our
expectations may not be correct, even though we believe that they are
reasonable. We do not guarantee that the forward-looking statements will happen
as described or that they will happen at all. Further information regarding
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those in the forward-looking statements is included in our filings with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual report on Form
20-F. We undertake no obligation, beyond that required by law, to update any
forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on
