Use of Forward-Looking Statements

 

This document includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the safe harbor created by, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the business, strategy and plans of Consolidated Graphics, its expectations relating to the proposed transaction with RR Donnelley and its future financial condition and performance, including estimated synergies.  Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Consolidated Graphics’ management’s beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements.  Words such as “believes”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “expects”, “intends”, “aims”, “potential”, “will”, “would”, “could”, “considered”, “likely”, “estimate” and variations of these words and similar future or conditional expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.  While Consolidated Graphics believes these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Consolidated Graphics’ control.  By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend upon future circumstances that may or may not occur.  Actual results may differ materially from Consolidated Graphics’ current expectations depending upon a number of factors affecting Consolidated Graphics’ business and risks associated with the successful execution and integration of the proposed transaction with RR Donnelley and the performance of RR Donnelley’s businesses following such transaction.  These factors include, among others, the inherent uncertainty associated with financial projections; the volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets, and adverse changes in the global economy; factors that affect customer demand, including changes in postal rates and postal regulations, changes in the capital markets, changes in advertising markets, the rate of migration from paper-based forms to digital format, customers’ budgetary constraints and customers’ changes in short-range and long-range plans; customers’ financial strength; shortages or changes in availability, or increases in costs of, key materials (such as ink, paper and fuel); changes in tax laws or interpretations that could increase consolidated tax liabilities; successful completion of the proposed transaction with RR Donnelley; the ability to implement plans for the integration of the proposed transaction, including with respect to sales forces, cost containment, asset rationalization and other key strategies and the ability to recognize the anticipated synergies and benefits of the proposed transaction; the receipt of required regulatory approvals for the proposed transaction (including the approval of antitrust authorities necessary to complete the proposed transaction); the reliability of the participants to RR Donnelley’s and Consolidated Graphics’ respective lending agreements; competitive pressures in all markets in which Consolidated Graphics and RR Donnelley operate; and such other risks and uncertainties detailed in Consolidated Graphics’ periodic public filings with the SEC, including but not limited to those discussed under “Risk Factors” in Consolidated Graphics’ Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, in Consolidated Graphics’ subsequent filings with the SEC and in other investor communications of Consolidated Graphics from time to time.  Consolidated Graphics does not undertake to and specifically declines any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
