Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the “Safe Harbor “Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
The matters discussed in this report on Form 8-K, when not historical matters, are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Such factors include, among others, the willingness and ability of third parties to honor their contractual obligations, the decisions of third parties over which the Company has no control, commodity prices, environmental and government regulations, availability of financing, judicial proceedings, force majeure events, and other risk factors as described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of receiving new information, the occurrence of future events, or otherwise.
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has caused this Report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
