differ materially. Forward-looking statements relate to
expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies,
anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning
matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements
involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on

indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to
historical matters. While forward-looking statements reflect the
Company's good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, they
are not guarantees of future performance. For example, the fact
that the offering described above has priced may imply that the

customary in transactions of this type and the closing may be
delayed or may not occur at all. For a further discussion of the
factors that could cause the Company's future results to differ
materially from any forward-looking statements, see the reports and
other filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
