Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the potential or anticipated benefits or effects of the proposed amendment and restatement of the Company’s certificate of incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) or the conversion of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, into shares of the Company’s Class C common stock, par value $0.01 per share, that would result from the Charter Amendment (the “Class A Conversion”), the tax consequences of the Class A Conversion and other statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, assumptions, estimates, intentions and future performance and condition.
Although the Company believes that the expectations are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to be correct, and actual results may vary materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated above include, among others, risks and uncertainties related to: the ability of the Company to obtain the requisite stockholder approvals for the Charter Amendment; the timing of the Class A Conversion; unforeseen or adverse changes in the capital markets generally or in trading conditions applicable to the Company’s securities; the impact of the Class A Conversion on the Company’s ability to execute its capital allocation strategy; unanticipated costs or expenses in connection with the proposal to approve the Charter Amendment (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”) or the Class A Conversion; potential litigation or other proceedings challenging the Charter Amendment Proposal or the Class A Conversion; the effect of the announcement of the Charter Amendment Proposal on the trading prices of the Class A common stock and Class C common stock; and risks related to the Company’s business, operations, financial condition and prospects.
The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. The foregoing review of factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements included in this filing should be considered in connection with information regarding risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company’s future results included in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) at www.sec.gov.
