(d) Exhibits
Press Release dated November 1, 2018. |
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain information that may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend the forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in those sections. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Generally, we have identified such, forward-looking statements by using the words "believe," "expect," "intend, " "estimate," "anticipate, " "project, ""target, " "forecast," "aim, " "should," "will," and similar expressions or by using future dates in connection with any discussion of, among other things, trends, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future. However, the absence of these words and similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but instead represent only the Corporation's beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside the Corporation's control. It is possible that the Corporation's actual results and financial condition may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these forward-looking statements.
Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the time made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statement because such statements speak only as of the date when made. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Corporation's historical experience
and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2018, and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
