Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Borealis and the offeror to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements should therefore be construed in light of such factors.
