This site may contain statements, estimates or projections that constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined under U.S. federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the context of the statement or the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “expects,” “plans,” “is confident that” or words of similar meaning. Similarly, statements that describe GIS future operating performance, financial results, financial position, plans, objectives, strategies or goals are forward­ looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on GIS current expectations. Known and unknown internal and external risks and uncertainties may cause the actual results to be materially different from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk factors common to the professional services industry as it affects privately owned corporations as well as the needs, risks, and plans of GIS parent organization. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. GIS undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

GIS has based these forward-looking statements with respect to these future events only as of the date that they were made and actual performance could differ materially from that projected in the forward-looking statements.
