Forward Looking Statements
Certain information provided in this release constitutes forward-looking statements. Specifically, this release contains forward-looking statements relating to the hearing before, and approval of, the Court, and the completion of the Recapitalization Transaction (including the timing thereof).
The forward-looking statements are based on information currently available, as well as certain expectations and assumptions concerning the Company’s anticipated financial performance, business prospects and general market conditions, as well as its expectations with respect to the proposed Recapitalization Transaction. Although the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because the Company can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks, some of which are out of the Company’s control. These include, but are not limited to, the Company’s inability to obtain approval of the Court, as well as other required approvals, the Company’s inability to successfully implement the Recapitalization Transaction and on the terms and within the timeline described in this news release or at all, general economic conditions, industry conditions, volatility of commodity prices, currency fluctuations, imprecision of reserve and resource estimates, environmental risks, competition from other industry participants, the lack of availability of qualified personnel or management and services, stock market volatility, changes in environmental regulations, tax laws and royalties and the ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources. Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. Jupiter’s actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements, or if any of them do so, what benefits that Jupiter will derive therefrom. Jupiter disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
