The information contained in this report (including items 7.01 and 9.01) and the exhibit hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. The information set forth herein, or in the exhibit, shall not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information herein or in the exhibit that is required to be disclosed to satisfy the requirements of Regulation FD.
The information in this report, the exhibit hereto, and statements made during the investor presentations may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These statements generally may be identified by their use of terms or phrases such as “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “believes,” “plans,” “goals,” “intends,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “potential,” “continue,” “future,” and terms or phrases of similar substance. Forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, which could cause future events and actual results to differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by, or underlying the forward-looking statements, including risks and uncertainties associated with the unsolicited proposal from Knight Transportation, Inc. to acquire all of the Company’s shares, the impact of the pendency of that proposal on the Company’s relationships with its employees, customers and vendors, the outcome of any litigation related to such proposal, the Board’s recommendation to the shareholders concerning the proposal and the Company’s ability to successfully execute on its strategic road map and meet its long-term financial goals. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Readers should review and consider the factors that may affect future results and other disclosures by the Company in its press releases, Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting the forward-looking information. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this report and the exhibit hereto, as well as those made during the investor presentations might not occur.
All forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
