Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains certain forward-looking statements and information with respect to, among other things, the business, the industries in which the Company operates, the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives and competitive position of the Company, which statements can often be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as ‘believes’, ‘expects’, ‘may’, ‘will’, ‘should’ or ‘anticipates’, the negatives thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or as part of discussions of strategy and trends. Such statements are derived from beliefs and assumptions of the Company’s management based, in part, upon information available to the Company as of the date of this report. They reflect the views of the Company as of the date of this report with respect to market conditions and future events and are inherently subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect the ability of the Company to implement its business strategy and/or may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements expressed herein. These risks, uncertainties and factors include, but are not limited to, cyclicality in the industries in which the Company operates, the Company’s production capacity, timing and occurrence of product acceptance, fluctuations in product mix, worldwide economic conditions generally, especially in the industries in which the Company operates, the timing and strength of product and service offerings by the Company and its competitors, changes in business or pricing strategies, changes in the prevailing political and regulatory framework in which the relevant parties operate or in economic or technological trends or conditions, including currency fluctuations, inflation and consumer confidence, on a global, regional or national basis, the level of consumer demand for sophisticated devices such as smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices, the Company’s ability to implement business realignment initiatives in the timeframe anticipated or at all and the timing and extent of any cost savings derived therefrom; the timing, terms and success of any strategic transaction, the outcome and impact of the pending criminal matter and ongoing investigation in Korea, including any impact on existing or future business opportunities in Korea and elsewhere, any civil actions related to the Korean Matter (as defined in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the "Annual Report")) brought by third parties, including the Company’s customers, which may result in monetary judgments or settlements, expenses associated with the Korean Matter and the other matters discussed in the Company’s filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the Annual Report.
Many of the above factors are beyond the control of the Company and almost all of them are difficult or impossible to predict with accuracy. Therefore, the Company cautions each reader of this report to consider carefully these, as well as any other specific factors discussed with each forward-looking statement in this report and as may be disclosed in the Company’s future filings with the SEC. For more information regarding the above factors and other risks, see the Annual Report.
To the extent that this report contains forward-looking statements (as distinct from historical information), the Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is therefore including this statement for the express purpose of availing itself of the protections of the safe harbor with respect to all forward-looking statements. Furthermore, the Company does not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained herein as a result of future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
