In addition to historical information, this Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Current Report on Form 8-K are forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, future events or developments or otherwise. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

These risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to (i) the Company’s ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval with respect to motions in the Chapter 11 cases, (ii) the expectation that the Chapter 11 cases will enable us to sell our assets in an orderly manner and maximize the value for our stakeholders, our ability to operate our business during this process and the plans and objectives of our management and assumptions regarding our future performance, (iii) the effects of the Company’s bankruptcy filing on the Company and the interests of various creditors, equity holders and other constituents, (iv) Bankruptcy Court rulings in the Chapter 11 cases and the outcome of the cases in general, (v) the length of time the Company will operate under the Chapter 11 cases, (vi) risks associated with third party motions in the Chapter 11 cases, which may interfere with the Company’s ability to develop and consummate the plan of liquidation, and (vii) the potential adverse effects of the Chapter 11 proceedings on the Company’s liquidity or results of operations. In the event that the risks disclosed in the Company’s public filings and those discussed above cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the Company’s forward-looking statements, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, and the interests of creditors, equity holders and other constituents, could be materially adversely affected.
