successfully; the risk that synergies will not be realized or realized to the extent anticipated; the risk that the combined

transaction could arise; the risk that disruption caused by the combined company would make it difficult to maintain
certain strategic relationships; the risks of competitive responses and shifts in the market; delays in the release of new
products; fluctuations in customer demand, changes in industry trends, and changes in the macro economic market. These
risks and uncertainties also include those risks and uncertainties discussed in the offer document to be filed with the
