Disclaimer

This presentation contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements (other than statements of historical fact) relating to future events and Nets’ anticipated or planned financial and operational performance. The words ‘may’, ‘will’, ‘will continue’, ‘should’, ‘expect’, ‘foresee’, ‘anticipate’, ‘believe’, ‘estimate’, ‘plan’, ‘predict’, ‘intend’ or variations of these words, including negatives thereof, as well as other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts or regarding future events or prospects, constitute forward-looking statements. Nets has based these forward-looking statements on its current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These views involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted in the forward-looking statements and from the past performance of

  • Nets. Although Nets believes that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, they

may prove materially incorrect, and actual results may materially differ, e.g. as the result of risks related to the industry in general

  • r Nets in particular.

Factors that may affect future results include, but are not limited to, global and economic conditions, including currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations, delay or failure of projects related to research and/or development, unexpected contract breaches or terminations, unplanned loss of patents, government-mandated or market-driven price decreases for Nets’ products, introduction of competing products, reliance on information technology, Nets’ ability to successfully market current and new products, exposure to product liability, litigation and investigations, regulatory developments, actual or perceived failure to adhere to ethical marketing practices, unexpected growth in costs and expenses, failure to recruit and retain the right employees, and failure to maintain a culture of compliance.
