Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This document contains certain forward-looking statements about Xoom, including statements that involve risks and uncertainties concerning PayPal’s proposed acquisition of Xoom. When used in this document, the words “anticipates”, “can”, “will”, “look forward to”, “expected” and similar expressions and any other statements that are not historical facts are intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking statements. Any such statement may be influenced by a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the control of Xoom, that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected, described, expressed or implied in this document due to a number of risks and uncertainties. Potential risks and uncertainties include, among others, the possibility that the transaction will not close or that the closing may be delayed, the potential effects of disruption to Xoom’s business from the pending Merger, and the possibility that Xoom may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what impact they will have on the results of operations or financial condition of Xoom. In addition, please refer to the documents that Xoom files with the SEC which identify and address other important factors that could cause results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements set forth in this document. You are cautioned to not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this document. Except as required by applicable law, Xoom does not undertake any duty to update any of the information in this document.
