current investor presentation – may 2015
TRANSCRIPT
This presentation contains certain statements that are considered “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,”
“will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” or “continue” or similar words
or the negative thereof. These statements do not relate to strictly historical or current facts and
provide current expectations of forecasts of future events. Any such expectations or forecasts of
future events are subject to a variety of factors. We caution that forward-looking statements must
be considered carefully and that actual results may differ in material ways due to risks and
uncertainties both known and unknown. Information about factors that could materially affect our
results can be found in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2014, and in Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors in our most recent quarterly
report on Form 10-Q. Shareholders and potential investors are urged to consider these factors in
evaluating forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements.
We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise. Investors are advised to consult any further
disclosures by us in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other written
statements on related subjects. It is not possible to anticipate or foresee all risk factors, and
investors should not consider any list of such factors to be an exhaustive or complete list of all
risks or uncertainties.
