Forward-Looking Statements

The preceding statements regarding interim operating data constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company wishes to caution you that there are some known and unknown factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the risk that events currently on sale may be cancelled for any reason, operational challenges in achieving strategic objectives and executing on the Company’s plans, the risk that the Company’s markets do not evolve as anticipated, the risk that consumer demand weakens and the potential impact of the economic slowdown in general and operational challenges associated with selling tickets and staging events.

Risk Factors” of the Company’s most recent Annual Report filed on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and its Current Reports on Form 8-K, which contain and identify other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the Company’s projections or forward-looking statements.
