Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws, for which we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the acquisition of Cantel by STERIS, including future financial and operating results, Cantel's or STERIS's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and the expected timing of completion of the transaction. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, or forecasts about our businesses, the industries in which we operate, and the current beliefs and assumptions of management; they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Without limiting the foregoing, words or phrases such as "expect," "anticipate," "goal," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seek," "may," "could," "enable," and "opportunity" and variations of such words and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties associated with these forward-looking statements include the potential that we may not be able to consummate the transaction, or that the expected benefits and opportunities of the transaction may not be realized or may take longer to realize than expected, or that required regulatory approvals may not be obtained as quickly as expected, or at all. There are also risks and uncertainties related to the subsequent integration of the companies; the ability to recognize the anticipated synergies and benefits of the acquisition; restructuring in connection with, and successful closing of, the transaction; the ability to obtain required regulatory approvals for the transaction (including the approval of antitrust authorities necessary to complete the acquisition); the timing of obtaining such approvals and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the transaction? the ability to obtain the requisite Cantel shareholder approval? the risk that a condition to closing of the transaction may not be satisfied on a timely basis or at all? the failure of the transaction to close for any other reason? risks relating to the value of the STERIS shares to be issued in the transaction? access to available financing (including financing for the transaction) on a timely basis and on reasonable terms; the impact of competitive products and pricing; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial results; general economic conditions; and technological and market changes in our industry. We caution that undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Some of the factors which could cause results to differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statement are set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we may update in Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q we have filed or will file hereafter. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. This cautionary statement is applicable to all forward-looking statements contained in this communication.
