In this communication, all statements that are not purely about historical facts, including, but not limited to, those in which we use the words "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "plan," "intend," "estimate, "target" and similar expressions, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. While these forward-looking statements represent our current judgment of what may happen in the future, actual results may differ materially from the results expressed or implied by these statements due to numerous important factors, including, but not limited to, those described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and our other periodic filings with the SEC, as well as (i) the risk that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect TIS’s business and the price of the common stock of TIS, (ii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Merger, (iii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, (iv) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on TIS’s business relationships, operating results and business generally, (v) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations and the potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the transaction, (vi) risks related to diverting management's attention from TIS’s ongoing business operations, (vii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us related to the Merger Agreement or the transaction, (viii) interests of directors in matters related to the Merger, and (ix) the risk that we will need to pay a termination fee to Parent.
