Forward Looking Statements

 

This communication, in addition to historical information, contains “forward-looking statements” (as defined in the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding, among other things, future events or the future financial performance of Envision and AmSurg. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “continues,” “estimates,” “expects,” “goal,” “objectives,” “intends,” “may,” “opportunity,” “plans,” “potential,” “near-term,” “long-term,” “projections,” “assumptions,” “projects,” “guidance,” “forecasts,” “outlook,” “target,” “trends,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “will” and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future plans, actions or events identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relating to the proposed transaction include, but are not limited to: statements about the benefits of the proposed transaction between Envision and AmSurg, including future financial and operating results; Envision’s and AmSurg’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions; the expected timing of completion of the proposed transaction; and other statements relating to the Mergers that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to Envision and AmSurg and involve estimates, expectations and projections. Investors are cautioned that all such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and important factors could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. With respect to the proposed transaction between Envision and AmSurg, these factors could include, but are not limited to: the risk that Envision or AmSurg may be unable to obtain governmental and regulatory approvals required for the transaction, or that required governmental and regulatory approvals may delay the transaction or result in the imposition of conditions that could reduce the anticipated benefits from the proposed transaction or cause the parties to abandon the proposed transaction; the risk that a condition to closing of the transaction may not be satisfied; the length of time necessary to consummate the proposed transaction, which may be longer than anticipated for various reasons; the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully; the risk that the cost savings, synergies and growth from the proposed transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues; the effect of future regulatory or legislative actions on the companies or the industries in which they operate; the risk that the credit ratings of the combined company or its subsidiaries may be different from what the companies expect; economic and foreign exchange rate volatility; the continued strength of the ambulatory surgery center, physician services and medical transportation markets; unexpected changes relating to competitive factors in the ambulatory surgery center, physician services and medical transportation industries; the timing, success and market reception for Envision’s and AmSurg’s new and existing services; the outcomes of any

litigation; changes in the general economic environment, or social or political conditions, that could affect the businesses; the potential impact of the announcement or consummation of the proposed transaction on relationships with customers, suppliers, competitors, management and other employees; the ability to attract new customers and retain existing customers in the manner anticipated; the ability to hire and retain key personnel; reliance on and integration of information technology systems; the risks associated with assumptions the parties make in connection with the parties’ critical accounting estimates and legal proceedings; and the potential of economic downturn or effects tax assessments, tax adjustments, anticipated tax rates, benefit or retirement plan costs, or other regulatory compliance costs.

 

Additional information concerning other risk factors is also contained in Envision’s and AmSurg’s most recently filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other SEC filings.

 

Many of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions are beyond Envision’s or AmSurg’s ability to control or predict. Because of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Furthermore, forward-looking statements speak only as of the information currently available to the parties on the date they are made, and neither Envision nor AmSurg undertakes any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this communication. Nothing in this communication is intended, or is to be construed, as a profit forecast or to be interpreted to mean that earnings per Envision share or AmSurg share for the current or any future financial years or those of the combined company, will necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings per Envision share or AmSurg share, as applicable. Neither Envision nor AmSurg gives any assurance (1) that either Envision or AmSurg will achieve its expectations, or (2) concerning any result or the timing thereof, in each case, with respect to any regulatory action, administrative proceedings, government investigations, litigation, warning letters, consent decree, cost reductions, business strategies, earnings or revenue trends or future financial results. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning Envision, AmSurg, the proposed transaction, the combined company or other matters and attributable to Envision or AmSurg or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.
