Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities Act. Forward-looking statements can include statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and are typically identified by words or phrases such as “trend,” “forecast,” “project,” “predict,” “potential,” “approximate,” “opportunity,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “current,” “intention,” “estimate,” “position,” “projection,” “plan,” “assume,” “continue,” “remain,” “maintain,” “sustain,” “seek,” “achieve,” and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “can,” “may” and similar expressions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K specifically include statements regarding FHI’s plans, expectations, goals and projections relating to the acquisition of FCP, including statements relating to the expected expansion of FHI’s private market offerings and FCP’s leadership position. The forward-looking statements included in this Form 8-K involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. FHI has based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and assumptions about future events, taking into account information currently known by FHI. While FHI considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, any forward-looking statement, and FHI’s level of business activity and financial results, are inherently subject to significant business, market, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond FHI’s control. Other risks and uncertainties include the risk factors discussed in the company's annual and quarterly reports as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, no assurance can be given as to future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and neither the company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness, or updating, of such statements in the future.
