Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release are "forward-looking
statements." These statements relate to future events or the
Company's future financial performance and involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the
actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements of
the Company or its industry to be materially different from those
expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. In some
cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology
such as "may," "will," "could," "would," "should," "expect,"
"plan," "anticipate," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "predict,"
"potential" or the negative of those terms or other comparable
terminology. The Company has based these forward-looking statements
on its current expectations, assumptions, estimates and
projections. While the Company believes these expectations,
assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such
forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known
and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the
Company's control, including the time, effort and expense to
complete the restatement of its financial statements, future
impairment charges, the ability to achieve its guidance, the
completion of announced acquisitions or dispositions, the ability
to execute and achieve the desired benefits of announced
initiatives, and the timing, amount and cost of any share
repurchases. In addition, the Company may identify and be unable to
remediate one or more material weaknesses in its internal control
over financial reporting, may encounter unanticipated material
issues or additional adjustments that could delay the completion of
the restatement of its financial statements or the filing of
required periodic reports with the SEC, or may be unable to regain
compliance with the NYSE continued listing rules. Furthermore, the
Company and/or its subsidiaries may incur additional tax
liabilities in respect of 2016 and prior years as a result of the
restatement of the Company's financial statements or may be found
to have breached certain provisions of Irish company legislation in
respect of prior financial statements and if so may incur
additional expenses and penalties. These and other important
factors, including those discussed under "Risk Factors" in the
Company's Form 10-KT for the six-month period ended December 31, 2015, as well as the Company's
subsequent filings with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission, may cause actual results, performance or achievements
to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this
press release are made only as of the date hereof, and unless
otherwise required by applicable securities laws, the Company
disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
