Forward-looking information
Statements in this press release relating to future events, status and circumstances, including statements regarding future financial or operating performance, growth and other projections as well as benefits of the Offer, are forward-looking statements. These statements may generally, but not always, be identified by the use of words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” continue,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “plans,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “could,” “should,” “feels,” “will,” “would,” “may,” “can,” “potential” or similar expressions or variations, or the negative of these terms. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside the control of Infinera. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk that Transmode shareholders fail to tender more than 90 percent of Transmode’s outstanding shares, that any of the other closing conditions are not satisfied, and that the transaction may not close; the risk that Transmode’s and Infinera’s businesses will not be integrated successfully; the risk that synergies will not be realized or realized to the extent anticipated; the risk that the Combined Company will not realize on its financing or operating strategies; the risk that litigation with respect to either company or the transaction could arise; and the risk that disruption caused by the Combined Company would make it difficult to maintain certain strategic relationships. These risks and uncertainties also include those risks and uncertainties that are discussed in the offer document approved by the SFSA. Infinera cautions investors not to place considerable reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. Any forward-looking statements contained in this press release speak only as of the date on which they were made and Infinera has no obligation (and undertakes no such obligation) to update or revise any of them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except for in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
