Forward looking statements Certain statements contained in this announcement constitute forward-looking information or forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "budget", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", "believes" or equivalents or variations, including negative variations, of such words and phrases, or state that certain actions, events or results, "may", "could", "would", "should", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the expiration of the Tender Offer and the financing of the Tender Offer.

There can be no assurance that the actual results, performance, events or activities anticipated by the Company will be realised or, even if substantially realised, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, the Company. Readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward- looking statements. Other than as required by applicable securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this announcement or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
