We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described in this Presentation will happen as described or that any positive trends noted in this Presentation will continue. Actual results and developments could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, those described in the context of such forward-looking statements.
