About Forward-Looking Information
This news release includes "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking information"), and assumptions about, among other things, our business, operations, and financial performance and condition. Forward-looking information typically includes words like could, expect, may, anticipate, assume, believe, intend, estimate, plan, project, guidance, outlook, target, and similar expressions, although not all forward-looking information includes them.  Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, statements relating to plans we have implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its expected impact on us and all other statements that are not historical facts.

We base our conclusions, forecasts, and projections on the following factors, among others: general economic and industry growth rates, currency exchange rates and interest rates, product pricing levels and competitive intensity, subscriber growth; pricing, usage, and churn rates; changes in government regulation; technology deployment; availability of devices; timing of new product launches; content and equipment costs; the integration of acquisitions; industry structure and stability; and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, liquidity, financial condition and results.

Actual events and results can be substantially different from what is expressed or implied by forward-looking information as a result of risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to: regulatory changes; technological changes; economic, geopolitical and other conditions affecting commercial activity; unanticipated changes in content or equipment costs; changing conditions in the entertainment, information, and/or communications industries; the integration of acquisitions; litigation and tax matters; the level of competitive intensity; the emergence of new opportunities; new interpretations and new accounting standards from accounting standards bodies; and potential adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the risk of a material reduction in demand, or increase in delinquent or unpaid bills, for our products and services due to job losses and associated financial hardship, issues delivering certain products and services, or maintaining or upgrading our networks, due to store closures and supply chain disruptions, significant additional capital expenditures to maintain or expand our networks in order to accommodate substantially increased network usage, lost revenue due to the suspension of sports leagues and associated programming, and higher all-in costs for new capital.  These factors can also affect our objectives, strategies, and intentions. Many of these factors are beyond our control or our current expectations or knowledge. Should one or more of these risks, uncertainties, or other factors materialize, our objectives, strategies, or intentions change, or any other factors or assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, our actual results and our plans could vary significantly from what we currently foresee.
