FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The Company’s management has made in this report, and from time to time may make in its public filings and press releases as well as in oral presentations and discussions, forward-looking statements concerning the Company’s operations, economic performance, prospects and financial condition. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, discussions concerning the Company’s potential exposure to market risks, as well as statements expressing management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions. The Company claims the protection afforded by the safe harbor for forward-looking statements as set forth in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by forward-looking statements due to a number of important factors including the following: satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in the merger agreement among AXA Financial, Inc., AIMA Acquisition Co. and The MONY Group Inc., including the approval of The MONY Group Inc’s shareholders and regulatory approvals; a significant delay in the expected completion of, or failure to complete, the contemplated merger; the Company could experience losses, including venture capital losses; the Company could be subjected to further downgrades by rating agencies of the Company’s senior debt ratings and the claims-paying and financial-strength ratings of the Company’s insurance subsidiaries; the Company could be required to take a goodwill impairment charge relating to its investment in The Advest Group, Inc. if the market deteriorates; recent improvements in the equities markets may not be sustained into the future; the Company could have to accelerate amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs if market conditions deteriorate; the Company may be required to recognize in its earnings “other than temporary impairment” charges on its invested assets if market conditions and/or the issuer’s financial condition deteriorates; the Company could have to write off investments in certain securities if the issuers’ financial condition deteriorates; recent improvements in the equity markets may not be sustained in the future; actual death-claim experience could differ from the Company’s mortality assumptions; the Company could have liability from as-yet-unknown litigation and claims; larger settlements or judgments than the Company anticipates could result in pending cases due to unforeseen developments; and changes in laws, including tax laws, could affect the demand for the Company’s products. The Company does not undertake to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
