Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains "forward-looking statements" as
defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These statements, which express management's current views
concerning future business, events, trends, contingencies,
financial performance, or financial condition, appear at various
places in this communication and may use words like "aim,"
"anticipate," "assume," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate,"
"expect," "forecast," "future," "goal," "intend," "likely," "may,"
"might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "see," "seek,"
"should," "strategy," "strive," "target," "will," and "would" and
similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words.
Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others,
statements we make regarding: our pending acquisition of ProQuest;
guidance outlook and predictions relating to expected operating
results, such as revenue growth and earnings; strategic actions
such as acquisitions, joint ventures, and dispositions, including
the anticipated benefits therefrom, and our success in integrating
acquired businesses; anticipated levels of capital expenditures in
future periods; our ability to successfully realize cost savings
initiatives and transition services expenses; our belief that we
have sufficiently liquidity to fund our ongoing business
operations; expectations of the effect on our financial condition
of claims, litigation, environmental costs, the COVID-19 pandemic
and governmental responses thereto, contingent liabilities, and
governmental and regulatory investigations and proceedings; and our
strategy for customer retention, growth, product development,
market position, financial results, and reserves. Forward-looking
statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future
performance. Instead, they are based only on management's current
beliefs, expectations, and assumptions regarding the future of our
business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated
events and trends, the economy, and other future conditions.
Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are
difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control.
Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial
condition to differ materially from those indicated in the
forward-looking statements include those factors discussed under
the caption "Risk Factors" in our most recent annual report on Form
10-K, as amended, along with our other filings with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). However, those factors
should not be considered to be a complete statement of all
potential risks and uncertainties. Additional risks and
uncertainties not known to us or that we currently deem immaterial
may also impair our business operations. Forward-looking statements
are based only on information currently available to our management
and speak only as of the date of this communication. We do not
assume any obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances
change, except as otherwise required by securities and other
applicable laws. Please consult our public filings with the
SEC.
