The information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K under this Item 7.01
(including Exhibit 99.01), is being furnished to the
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K (including information incorporated herein by
reference) contains certain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to
historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as
"anticipate", "target", "expect", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "goal",
"believe", "aim", "will", "may", "would", "could" or "should" or other words of
similar meaning or the negative thereof. Forward-looking statements include
statements relating to the following: (i) future capital expenditures, expenses,
revenues, economic performance, financial conditions, dividend policy, losses
and future prospects of the combined group of the Company and Avast plc
("Avast") (the Combined Company); (ii) business and management strategies and
the expansion and growth of the operations of the Combined Company; (iii) the
effects of government regulation on the business of the Combined Company and
(iv) the time frame and the expected benefits of the previously-announced merger
with Avast (the "Merger") to the Company, Avast, and their respective customers,
stockholders and investors, including expected growth, earnings accretion and
cost savings. There are many factors which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Such
factors include, but are not limited to, the possibility that the Merger will
not be completed on a timely basis or at all, whether due to the failure to
satisfy the conditions of the Merger (including approvals or clearances from
regulatory and other agencies and bodies) or otherwise, general business and
economic conditions globally, industry trends, competition, changes in
government and other regulation, changes in political and economic stability,
disruptions in business operations due to reorganization activities, interest
rate and currency fluctuations, the inability of the Combined Company to realize
successfully any anticipated synergy benefits when (and if) the Merger is
implemented, the inability of the combined entity to integrate successfully the
Company's and Avast's operations when (and if) the Merger is implemented,
fluctuations and volatility in the Company's stock price, the ability of the
Company to successfully execute strategic plans, the ability of the Company to
maintain customer and partner relationships, the timing and market acceptance of
new product releases and upgrades, matters arising out of the ongoing
These forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding the
present and future business strategies of such persons and the environment in
which each will operate in the future. By their nature, these forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, as well as uncertainties because
they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future.
The factors described in the context of such forward-looking statements in this
Current Report on Form 8-K may cause the actual results, performance or
achievements of any such person, or industry results and developments, to be
materially different from any results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that such
expectations will prove to have been correct and persons reading this Current
Report on Form 8-K are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements which speak only as at the date of this Current
Report on Form 8-
