Forward Looking Statements
This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements may include: management plans relating to the proposed transactions; the expected timing of the completion of the proposed transactions; the ability to complete the proposed transactions; the ability to obtain the required regulatory, shareholder or other approvals; any statements of the plans and objectives of management for future operations, products or services, including the execution of integration plans relating to the proposed transactions; any statements of expectation or belief; projections related to certain financial metrics or other benefits of the proposed transactions; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as believe, expect, anticipate, intend, seek, plan, will, would, target, outlook, estimate, forecast, project and other similar words and expressions or negatives of these words. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time and are beyond CapStars control. Because forward-looking statements are by their nature, to different degrees, uncertain and subject to assumptions, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those that CapStar anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and future results could differ materially from historical performance. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those included under Item 1A Risk Factors in CapStars Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and those disclosed in CapStars other periodic reports filed with the SEC, as well as the possibility that expected benefits of the proposed transactions may not materialize in the time frame expected or at all, or may be more costly to achieve; the proposed transactions may not be timely completed, if at all; that prior to the completion of the proposed transactions or thereafter, CapStars, FCBs and BOWs respective businesses may not perform as expected due to transaction-related uncertainty or other factors; that the parties are unable to successfully implement integration strategies related to the proposed transactions; that required regulatory, shareholder or other approvals are not obtained or other customary closing conditions are not satisfied in a timely manner or at all; reputational risks and the reaction of the companies shareholders, customers, employees or other constituents to the proposed transactions; and diversion of management time on merger-related matters. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the proposed transactions, will be more fully discussed in the registration statement on Form S-4 that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transactions. While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors presented in the registration statement on Form S-4 will be, considered representative, no such lists should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. For any forward-looking statements made in this communication or in any documents, CapStar claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. CapStar does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date on which the forward-looking statement is made.
