Safe Harbor
 
This document includes “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Investors can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.  These statements contain words such as “expect,” “reaffirm,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “predict,” “project,” “might,” “intend,” “potential,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “optimistic,” “seek,” “continue,” “pursue,” or “our future success depends,” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.  In particular, they include statements relating to, among other things, future actions, strategies, future performance and future financial results of AngioDynamics.  These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events.  The forward-looking statements in this document include those with respect to the expected timing of the completion of the transaction.
 
Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and involve risks and uncertainties that cannot be predicted or quantified and, consequently, the actual performance or results of AngioDynamics may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the factors described from time to time in AngioDynamics’ reports filed with the SEC, including AngioDynamics’ Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011 and AngioDynamics’ Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended November 30, 2011; the ability of AngioDynamics to develop its existing and new products; financial community and rating agency perceptions of AngioDynamics; third-party relations and approvals; technological advances and patents attained by competitors; challenges inherent in new product development, including obtaining regulatory approvals; the ability of AngioDynamics to develop its products; future actions by the FDA or other regulatory agencies; domestic and foreign health care reforms and governmental laws and regulations; results of pending or future clinical trials; overall economic conditions; the results of ongoing litigation; the effects of economic, credit and capital market conditions on the economy in general, and on medical device companies in particular; general market conditions; market acceptance; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; the effects on pricing from group purchasing organizations and competition and the ability of AngioDynamics to integrate purchased businesses.  Risk and uncertainties related to the proposed transaction include, but are not limited to delays in or failure to obtain any required governmental and regulatory approvals with respect to the transaction; failure to obtain stockholder approval of the issuance of the AngioDynamics common stock in connection with the transaction; failure to consummate or delay in consummating the transaction for other reasons; the possibility that the expected benefits of the transaction, including projected synergies and tax benefits, may not materialize as expected; disruption from the proposed transaction making it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships; and the failure to successfully integrate the products, R&D capabilities, infrastructure and employees of AngioDynamics and Navilyst.
 
Any forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such, speak only as of the date made. AngioDynamics disclaims any obligation to update the forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date stated, or if no date is stated, as of the date of this document.
