These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to a material difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our filings with the SEC and the following:(i) the company’s business prospects and future results of operations; (ii) weather and other natural phenomena; (iii) developments in, or changes to, the laws, regulations and governmental policies governing the company’s business, including limitations on ownership of farmland by foreign entities in certain jurisdictions in which the company operates, environmental laws and regulations; (iv) the implementation of the company’s business strategy, including its development of the Ivinhema mill and other current projects; (v) the company’s plans relating to acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic alliances or divestitures; (vi) the implementation of the company’s financing strategy and capital expenditure plan; (vii) the maintenance of the company’s relationships with customers; (viii) the competitive nature of the industries in which the company operates; (ix) the cost and availability of financing; (x) future demand for the commodities the company produces; (xi) international prices for commodities; (xii) the condition of the company’s land holdings; (xiii) the development of the logistics and infrastructure for transportation of the company’s products in the countries where it operates; (xiv) the performance of the South American and world economies; and (xv) the relative value of the Brazilian Real, the Argentine Peso, and the Uruguayan Peso compared to other currencies; as well as other risks included in the company’s filings and submissions with the SEC. All forward-looking statements set forth in the attached press release are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on us or our business or operations. Forward-looking statements set forth in the attached press release speak only as of the date hereof and we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, changes in expectations or the occurrence of unanticipated events.
