These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

•reliance on intellectual property and other proprietary information;

•our ability to achieve some or all of the expected benefits of the spin-off and uncertainties regarding the impacts of the spin-off, including indemnification responsibilities and tax-related considerations;
