Certain statements contained in this Annual Report, including without limitation, those under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (MD&A) and statements containing the words “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “anticipates,” and words of similar import, may constitute forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict including, without limitation, risks associated with (i) the costs, integration, performance and operation of businesses recently acquired, or that may be acquired in the future, by the Company, (ii) the unprecedented current market conditions and the resulting volatility, credit tightening and counterparty risk, as well as the negative effect on performance and assets under management in our Asset Management business and the suspension of redemptions and withdrawals of certain funds announced in the Form 8-K furnished by the Company on October 30, 2008, (iii) the announcement that the assets of the Asset Management business will be sold as described in the Form 8-K furnished by the Company on January 27, 2009, and (iv) the announcement regarding costs associated with the Company’s exit from the Asset Management business as described in the Form 8-K filed by the Company on February 26, 2009. Since such statements involve risks and uncertainties, the actual results and performance of the Company may turn out to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise required by law, the Company also disclaims any obligation to update its view of any such risks or uncertainties or to announce publicly the result of any revisions to the forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report. Readers should carefully review the risks and uncertainties disclosed in the Company’s reports with the SEC, including those detailed under “Certain Factors Affecting Results of Operations” in MD&A herein, in “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on SEC Form 10-K and in other reports or documents the Company files with, or furnishes to, the SEC from time to time. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto contained in this Annual Report.
