Builders FirstSource undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Any forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the events or results described in the forward-looking statements, including risks or uncertainties related to its growth strategies, including gaining market share, or its revenues and operating results being highly dependent on, among other things, the homebuilding industry, lumber prices and the economy.

Consequently, all forward-looking statements in this release are qualified by the factors, risks and uncertainties contained therein.
In addition, there are significant risks and uncertainties relating to Builders FirstSource's proposed acquisition and ownership of ProBuild, including: (a) the representations, warranties and indemnifications by the sellers of ProBuild are limited in the securities purchase agreement, and Builders FirstSource's diligence into the business has been limited and, as a result, the assumptions on which its estimates of future results of the business have been based may prove to be incorrect in a number of material ways, which could result in an inability to realize the expected benefits of the acquisition or exposure to material liabilities; (b) using debt to finance, in part, the acquisition will substantially increase Builders FirstSource's indebtedness; (c) Builders FirstSource's obligation to close the acquisition is not conditioned on the completion of its debt or equity financing, and, under certain circumstances, if Builders FirstSource fails to satisfy its obligation to consummate the acquisition, Builders FirstSource may be required to pay a termination fee that could have an adverse effect on Builders FirstSource's ability to fund its operations and meet its obligations under its outstanding debt instruments; (d) the inability of Builders FirstSource to successfully integrate ProBuild's operations and realize anticipated benefits of the acquisition; and (e) the ability to attract and retain key personnel and to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers or other business partners, including those of ProBuild. These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of the forward-looking statements contained herein. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on Builders FirstSource's future results.
