"should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate,"
"predict," "potential" or "continue," and the negative of these
terms and other comparable terminology. All statements that reflect
our expectations, assumptions or projections about the future other
than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements, which are subject to known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include
projections of our future financial performance based on our growth
strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements
are only predictions based on our current expectations and
projections about future events. There are important factors that
could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or
achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied
by the forward-looking statements.
We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing
environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time,
and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor
can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the
extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause
actual results to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statements.
Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include:
the loss of our right to exclusively list and trade certain index
options and futures products; economic, political and market
conditions; compliance with legal and regulatory obligations; price
competition and consolidation in our industry; decreases in trading
or clearing volumes, market data fees or a shift in the mix of
products traded on our exchanges; legislative or regulatory changes
or changes in tax regimes; our ability to protect our systems and
communication networks from security vulnerabilities and breaches;
our ability to attract and retain skilled management and other
personnel, including compensation inflation; increasing competition
by foreign and domestic entities; our dependence on and exposure to
risk from third parties; global expansion of operations; factors
that impact the quality and integrity of our indices; our ability
to manage our growth and strategic acquisitions or alliances
effectively; our ability to operate our business without violating
the intellectual property rights of others and the costs associated
with protecting our intellectual property rights; our ability to
minimize the risks, including our credit, counterparty, investment,
and default risks, associated with operating a European
clearinghouse; our ability to accommodate trading and clearing
volume and transaction traffic, including significant increases,
without failure or degradation of performance of our systems;
misconduct by those who use our markets or our products or for whom
we clear transactions; challenges to our use of open source
software code; our ability to meet our compliance obligations,
including managing potential conflicts between our regulatory
responsibilities and our for-profit status; our ability to maintain
BIDS Trading as an independently managed and operated trading
venue, separate from and not integrated with our registered
national securities exchanges; damage to our reputation; the
ability of our compliance and risk management methods to
effectively monitor and manage our risks; restrictions imposed by
our debt obligations and our ability to make payments on or
refinance our debt obligations; our ability to maintain an
investment grade credit rating; impairment of our goodwill,
long-lived assets, investments or intangible assets; the impacts of
pandemics; the accuracy of our estimates and expectations;
litigation risks and other liabilities; and operating a digital
asset business and clearinghouse, including the expected benefits
of our Cboe Digital acquisition, cybercrime, changes in digital
asset regulation, losses due to digital asset custody, and
fluctuations in digital asset prices. More detailed information
about factors that may affect our actual results to differ may be
found in our filings with the SEC, including in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2022 and other filings made from time to time with the
SEC.
We do not undertake, and we expressly disclaim, any duty to
