FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This current report contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect” and words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the final consent order to be entered into between Northwest Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).
These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to strategic objectives, anticipated financial results, future business prospects and decisions that are subject to change.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:
| |
·
|
general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected;
|
| |
·
|
changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements;
|
| |
·
|
competition among depository and other financial institutions;
|
| |
·
|
inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments;
|
| |
·
|
adverse changes in the securities markets; and
|
| |
·
|
changes in our organization.
|
Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.
