Forward-Looking Statements
All statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report, that do not directly and exclusively relate to historical facts constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to future events or DLH’s intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs, and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors many of which are outside DLH’s control. You can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” and similar words or phrases. Any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances or that are not statements of historical fact should be considered forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or DLH’s actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our belief and assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate.
