Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this communication constitute forward-looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements made in this communication that are based on historical fact are forward-looking statements, including statements about whether and when the transaction between Jacobs and KeyW will be consummated and the anticipated financial and other benefits thereof. Although such statements are based on management’s current estimates and expectations, and currently available competitive, financial and economic data, forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and you should not place undue reliance on such statements as actual results may differ materially. We caution the reader that there are a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from what is contained, projected or implied by such forward-looking statements. The potential risks and uncertainties include, among others, the possibility that Jacobs and KeyW may be unable to obtain regulatory approval or that other conditions to closing the transaction may not be satisfied, such that the transaction will not close or that the closing may be delayed; general economic conditions; the possibility of unexpected costs, liabilities or delays in connection with the transaction; risks that the transaction disrupts our current plans and operations; the ability to recognize the benefits of the transaction; the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the transaction; the outcome of any legal proceedings related to the transaction; and the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement. For a description of some additional factors that may occur that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements see Jacobs’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 28, 2018 and Jacobs’ Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 29, 2019, in particular the “Risk Factors” discussions thereunder as well as Jacobs’ other filings with the SEC. Neither Merger Sub nor Jacobs is under any duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this press release to conform to actual results, except as required by applicable law.
