Safe Harbor Statement
Certain
statements contained in this press release and in our response to
recent inquiries we have received from BlackRock Investment
Stewardship group that we posted to our website under the Investor
Relations section may be deemed to be forward-looking statements
under federal securities laws, and we intend that such
forward-looking statements be subject to the safe-harbor created
thereby. Such forward-looking statements include, among
others, our belief that manufacturing civilian firearms has any
reputational or financial risk for our company outside of those
risks set out in the Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form
10-K; our belief that our stockholders do not associate the
criminal use of a firearm with the company that manufactures it;
and our belief that the best way to stop the criminal use of
firearms and the violence associated with it is to enforce existing
laws and to focus stronger efforts on prosecuting those who break
them. We caution that these statements are qualified by
important risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those reflected by such
forward-looking statements including the risks detailed from time
to time in our reports filed with the SEC, including our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017.
