Forward Looking StatementAny statements contained in this release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forward-looking statements rely on assumptions and are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. In particular, statements in this release regarding the anticipated value of the contract are based upon assumptions regarding future volumes of services to be performed, the prices for those services remaining constant, and performance of the contract continuing for its full term. Because Defence requirements for services will vary over time, with a portion of the revenue varying based on the level and types of services performed; because pricing may be subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, including as a result of volumetric changes and periodic benchmarking surveys; because the transition period may take more or less time than anticipated, with fees for transition services adjustment accordingly; and because the contract is terminable by the Department of Defence before the end of its term on the payment of a specified fee, the anticipated value of the contract is not guaranteed. Additional discussion of factors that could affect Unisys future results is contained in periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
