Forward-looking statements
The Information contains statements which are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking
statements" which are prospective in nature. All statements other than statements
of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. They are based on current
expectations and projections about future events, and are therefore subject to risks
and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the
future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Often, but
not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking
words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "is subject to", "budget", “pro
forma”, "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", "believes",
"targets", "aims", "projects" or words or terms of similar substance or the negative
thereof, as well as variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain
actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", "would", "might" or "will"
be taken, occur or be achieved. Such statements are qualified in their entirety
by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations.
Among other things the Information may contain forward-looking statements regarding
the Transaction. Such Information may include statements about the benefits of the
proposed combination, expected future earnings, revenues and cost savings and other
such items, based on our plans, estimates and projections. These forward-looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those predicted in any such forward-looking statements. Such factors
include, but are not limited to, the possibility that the Transaction will not be
pursued, general business and economic conditions globally, industry trends, competition,
changes in government and other regulation, changes in political and economic stability,
disruptions in business operations due to reorganisation activities (whether or
not Tullett Prebon acquires IGBB), interest rate and currency fluctuations, the
failure to satisfy the conditions of the Transaction if and when implemented (including
approvals or clearances from regulatory and other agencies and bodies) on a timely
basis or at all, the failure of Tullett Prebon to acquire IGBB on a timely basis
or at all, the inability of the enlarged group to realise successfully any anticipated
synergy benefits when the proposed transaction is implemented, the inability of
the enlarged group to integrate successfully Tullett Prebon’s and ICAP’s operations
and programmes when the proposed transaction is implemented, the enlarged group
incurring and/or experiencing unanticipated costs and/or delays or difficulties
relating to the proposed transaction when the proposed transaction is implemented.
All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly
affect expected results and are based on certain key assumptions. Many factors could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied in any
forward-looking statements. Due to such uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only
as of the date that they were made. Each of the Tullett Prebon group and the ICAP
group, and each of their respective members, directors, officers, employees, advisers,
agents and representatives, expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update
or revise any forward-looking or other statements contained in the Information,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required
by applicable law.
Neither the Tullett Prebon group, the ICAP group, nor their respective members,
directors, officers, employees, advisers, agents or representatives, provides any
representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed
or implied in any forward-looking statements in the Information will actually occur.
No forward-looking or other statements have been reviewed by the auditors of the
Tullett Prebon group or the ICAP group, unless a statement is made to the contrary
in respect of the relevant forward-looking or other statement in the Information.
All subsequent oral or written forward-looking statements attributable to the Tullett
Prebon group or the ICAP group, or any of their respective members, directors, officers,
employees, advisers, agents or representatives are expressly qualified in their
entirety by the cautionary statement above.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, no statement contained or referred to in the
Micro-site is intended to be a profit forecast.
