This presentation contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and the future results of Rai Way that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industries in which Rai Way operates, as well as the beliefs and assumptions of Rai Way's management. In particular, certain statements with regard to management objectives, trends in results, margins, costs, rate of return and competition tend to be forward-looking in nature. Words such as "expects", "anticipates", "targets", "goals", "projects", "intends", "plans", "believes", "seeks" and "estimates", variations of such words and similar expressions, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. Therefore, Rai Way's actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees of future performance. Rai Way therefore cautions against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, economic conditions globally, the impact of competition, political, economic and regulatory developments in Italy. Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Rai Way speak only as of the date they are made. Rai Way undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect any changes in Rai Way's expectations with regard thereto or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
