Forward-Looking Statements
Any forward-looking statements (the “Statements”) contained on the Website are based on various information and data and a number of assumptions, analytical methods and financial and other models, any or all of which may prove to be incorrect. Although Vertex believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements, and the information and data and the assumptions, methods and models upon which they are based, are correct, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because Vertex can give no assurance that they are, in fact, correct. Further, the industry involves risks and uncertainties and is subject to change and therefore the various assumptions, methods and models may prove to be incorrect. In addition to the assumptions and other factors which may be identified on the Website, these assumptions and factors may include: conditions in general economic and financial markets; effects of regulation by governmental agencies; receipt of partner, regulatory and community approvals; future exchange rates; future operating costs; availability of skilled labor; availability of equipment; timing and amount of net capital expenditures; the impact of increasing competition; that Vertex will have sufficient cash flow, debt or equity sources or other financial resources required to fund its capital and operating expenditures and requirements as needed; that Vertex’s conduct and results of operations will be consistent with its expectations; that Vertex will have the ability to develop projects in the manner currently contemplated; current or, where applicable, assumed industry conditions, laws and regulations will continue in effect or as anticipated; the impact of improving technologies; and, that the estimates of Vertex cost structure and the assumptions related thereto are accurate in all material respects. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of assumptions and factors is not exhaustive. Certain documents and information contained on this Website that contain forward-looking statements may also contain information on the assumptions, factors, risks and qualifications upon which such forward-looking statements were made.
Furthermore, any forward-looking statements contained on the Website are made as at the date of their posting and Vertex does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the included forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable securities laws.
