                                     statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the 
                                control of the Company and all of which are based on its directors' current beliefs and expectations 
                               about future events. Forward-looking statements are sometimes identified by the use of forward-looking 
                                   terminology such as "believes", "expects", "may", "will", "could", "should", "shall", "risk", 
                               "intends", "estimates", "aims", "plans", "predicts", "projects", "continues", "assumes", "positioned" 
                                   or "anticipates" or the negative thereof, other variations thereon or comparable terminology, 
                                 or by discussions of strategy, plans, objectives, goals, future events, assumptions or intentions. 
                                These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking 
                                     statements may and often do differ materially from actual results. They appear in a number 
                                  of places throughout this announcement and include statements regarding the intentions, beliefs 
                                     or current expectations of the Board or the Company with respect to future events and are

                                    the Company. Such risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to vary materially from 
                                     the future results indicated, expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. The
