Cautionary note relating to forward-looking statements
This Microsite contains Information which may include statements which are, or may be deemed to be, “forward looking statements”. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward looking statements. Such forward looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and on numerous assumptions regarding the subject matter of such statements, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual outcome to differ materially from those expressed or implied by those statements. In some cases, these forward looking statements can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology, including the terms “believes”, “estimates”, “will look to”, “would look to”, “plans”, “prepares”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “is expected to”, “is subject to”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “forecasts”, “synergy”, “strategy”, “goal”, “cost-saving”, “projects” “intends”, “may”, “will” or “should” or their negatives or other variations or comparable terminology. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. These events and circumstances include, but are not limited to, changes in the global, political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory forces, future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates and future business combinations or disposals. If any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialises or if any one or more of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those expected, estimated or projected. Such forward looking statements should therefore be construed in the light of such factors. Neither Kingswood, Cavendish Capital Markets Limited (“Cavendish”), nor any of their respective affiliates nor the directors, officers, employees or advisers of any such person, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any such forward looking statements will actually occur. Given these risks and uncertainties, Kingswood shareholders should not place any reliance on forward looking statements.
Each forward-looking statement speaks only as at the specified date of the relevant document within which the statement is contained. The Information included in this Microsite issued or published by Kingswood speaks only at the specified date of the relevant document. Kingswood, Cavendish and each of their respective affiliates and the directors, officers, employees or advisers of each such person expressly disclaims any obligation to update such statements other than as required by law or by the rules of any competent regulatory authority, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
No statement contained or referred to in this Microsite is intended to be a profit forecast.
