Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the aggregate cash purchase price anticipated to be paid with respect to the Note Repurchases and expectations that the Registrant will unwind a portion of the bond hedges associated with the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased as well as the outstanding warrants originally issued in conjunction with such bond hedges.

These statements may include words such as “if,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “likely” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future events. We cannot assure you that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. Important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, among others, risks and uncertainties concerning the final terms and conditions on which transactions may be completed with respect to the Note Repurchases and related transactions with respect to unwinding of a portion of the bond hedges associated with the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased as well as the outstanding warrants originally issued in conjunction with such bond hedges, uncertainties regarding completion of additional similar transactions and those other risks and uncertainties disclosed under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K most recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and similar disclosures in subsequent reports filed with the SEC, which are available on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by us on this Current Report on Form 8-K speaks only as of the date on which we make it.
