Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this report, including information incorporated by reference, are “ forward-looking statements” as that term is defined in the Private S ecurities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“ PS LRA” ). The PS LRA provides a safe harbor under the S ecurities Act of 1933 and the S ecurities Exchange Act of 1934 for forward-looking statements. These statements relate to our intentions, beliefs, proj ections, estimations or forecasts of future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by use of words such as "may," "will," "could," "would," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "target," "proj ect," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "pro forma," "seek," "likely" or "continue" or other comparable terminology. These statements are
- nly predictions, and we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct . We undertake no
- bligation, other than as may be required under the federal securities laws, to publicly update or revise any forward-
looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Factors, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those proj ected, forecasted or estimated by us in forward-looking statements are discussed in further detail in S elective’s public filings with the United S tates S ecurities and Exchange Commission. These risk factors may not be exhaustive. We operate in a continually changing business environment, and new risk factors emerge from time-to-time. We can neither predict such new risk factors nor can we assess the impact, if any, of such new risk factors on our businesses or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this report. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this report might not occur.
