any applicable implementing measures in any Member

in the prospectus.

In any EEA Member State other than Norway that has

implemented the Prospectus Directive, this

similar expressions. The forward-looking statements

in this release are based upon various assumptions,

many of which are based, in turn, upon further

assumptions are inherently subject to significant

known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies

Such risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other

important factors could cause actual events to differ

materially from the expectations expressed or implied
