By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results, performance and the timing of events to differ materially from those anticipated, expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Such risks or uncertainties may give rise to claims or regulatory issues, increase exposure to contingent liabilities and cause pressure on Xura’s stock price. Although Xura has entered into an agreement for sale of the company, the closing of such transaction is subject to risks and there can be no assurance that such transaction will ultimately be consummated. Risks relating to the forward-looking statements include the acquisition-related risks and other risks set forth in the “Forward-Looking Statements” and Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, or in other subsequently filed periodic, current or other reports.
