Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in the press release, including statements that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements made under the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as: believe, hope, may, anticipate, should, intend, plan, will, expect, estimate, continue, project, positioned, strategy and similar expressions. Such statements involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that include, but are not limited to:
• Risks and uncertainties related to the proposed merger with FirstGroup, including but not limited to receiving approval from the stockholders of both Laidlaw and FirstGroup and the required regulatory agencies as well as other customary closing conditions;
• and the potential for rising labor costs and actions taken by organized labor unions.
Should these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those indicated. In light of these risks and uncertainties you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Laidlaw undertakes no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures Laidlaw makes on related subjects as may be detailed in Laidlaw's other filings made from time to time with the SEC.
