FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: This press release contains forward-looking statements. More particularly, this press release contains statements concerning the anticipated terms and timing for closing the financing, the use of proceeds for the financing and the anticipated means of financing the purchase price for the acquisitions,.
