Cautionary Statements Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
Caution Concerning the Notice of Exhibits. The valuation data set forth in the Notice of Exhibits is presented for the limited purposes set forth therein, and is based upon several assumptions and factors described therein. The Company urges you to read the Notice of Exhibits in its entirety.
Caution Concerning the Monthly Operating Report. The Company cautions current and prospective investors not to unduly rely on the information contained in the March Monthly Operating Report, which was not prepared or reviewed for the purpose of facilitating an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company. The March Monthly Operating Report has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court. The March Monthly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, was not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, is unconsolidated, is in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. If you are a current or prospective investor in the Companys securities, you should not assume that the March Monthly Operating Report is complete or provides a suitable basis upon which to make an investment decision regarding purchasing, selling or holding the Companys securities.
Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements. This Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Form 8-K are forward-looking statements, as defined by (and subject to the safe harbor protections under) the federal securities laws. When used herein, the words anticipates, expects, believes, seeks, hopes, intends, plans, projects, will and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on a number of judgments and assumptions as of the date such statements are made about future events, many of which are beyond the Companys control. These forward-looking statements, and the assumptions on which they are based, (i) are not guarantees of future events, (ii) are inherently speculative and (iii) are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual events and results may differ materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or implied by the Company in those statements if one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the Companys underlying assumptions prove incorrect. All of the Companys forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Companys discussion of certain important factors
that could cause the Companys actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or implied in those forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause the Companys results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements include but are not limited to risks and uncertainties relating to the Chapter 11 Cases, including but not limited to the Companys ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval with respect to motions in the Chapter 11 Cases, the effects of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Company and its various constituents, the impact of the Bankruptcy Court rulings in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Companys ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval of its plan of reorganization and the ultimate outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases in general, the length of time the Company will operate under the Chapter 11 Cases, attendant risks associated with restrictions on the Companys ability to pursue and execute its business strategies, risks associated with third-party motions in the Chapter 11 Cases, the potential adverse effects of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Companys liquidity, the potential material adverse effect of claims that are not discharged in the Chapter 11 Cases, uncertainty regarding the Companys ability to retain its key personnel, uncertainty and continuing risks associated with the Companys ability to achieve its stated goals and continue as a going concern; the Companys ability to implement operational improvement efficiencies; the trading price and volatility of the Companys securities, as well as other risks referenced from time to time in the Companys filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Additional factors or risks that the Company currently deems immaterial, that are not presently known to the Company, that arise in the future or that are not specific to the Company could also cause the Companys actual results to differ materially from its expected results. Given these uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon the Companys forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments, changed circumstances, or otherwise. Further, the Company may make changes to its intentions or plans at any time, without notice and for any reason. For these reasons, the Company can provide no assurances as to the ultimate outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases, including the ultimate recoveries of the various classes of the Companys claimants.
