Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Forward-looking statements made herein with respect to the Offer and related transactions, including, for example, the timing of the completion of the Offer and the subsequent merger (the “ Merger ”) contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the potential benefits of the Offer and the Merger, reflect the current analysis of existing information and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. As a result, caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Due to known and unknown risks, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from its expectations or projections.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual plans and results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the effect of the announcement of the Offer and related transactions on the Company’s business relationships, operating results and business generally; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, and the risk that the Merger Agreement may be terminated in circumstances that require the Company to pay a termination fee; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company related to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Offer and the Merger; uncertainties as to the number of stockholders of the Company who may tender their stock in the Offer; the failure to satisfy other conditions to consummation of the Offer or the Merger, including the receipt of regulatory approvals related to the Merger (and any conditions, limitations or restrictions placed on these approvals); risks that the Offer and related transactions disrupt current plans and operations and the potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the proposed transactions; the effects of local and national economic, credit and capital market conditions on the economy in general, and other risks and uncertainties; and those risks and uncertainties discussed from time to time in our other reports and other public filings with the SEC.
