Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This communication may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The use of words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans” and “believes,” among others, generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to: Angie’s List’s and/or ANGI Homeservices’ future financial performance, Angie’s List’s and/or ANGI Homeservices’ business prospects, strategy and anticipated trends in the industries in which Angie’s List’s and/or ANGI Homeservices’ businesses operate, or will operate, and other similar matters. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons. As forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, caution should be exercised against placing undue reliance on such statements. In light of these risks and uncertainties, these forward-looking statements may not prove to be accurate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
In addition to factors previously disclosed in Angie’s List’s and IAC’s reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements and historical performance: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to right of one or both of the parties to terminate the Merger Agreement; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Angie’s List, IAC, ANGI Homeservices or Merger Sub; (3) the failure to obtain the necessary stockholder approval or to satisfy any of the other conditions to the proposed transactions on a timely basis or at all; (4) the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the proposed transactions are not realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of Angie’s List and the HomeAdvisor business or as a result of changes in the economy and competitive factors in the areas where Angie’s List and the HomeAdvisor business do business; (5) the possibility that the proposed transactions may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; (6) diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; (7) potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed transactions; (8) changes in asset quality and credit risk; (9) the potential liability for a failure to meet regulatory requirements; (10) potential changes to tax legislation; (11) the potential effect of the announcement of the proposed transactions or consummation of the proposed transactions on relationships, including with employees, customers and competitors; (12) the ability to retain key personnel; and (13) changes in local, national and international financial market, insurance rates and interest rates. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and Angie’s List, IAC and ANGI Homeservices do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement.
