Forward-Looking Statements:
Certain statements
contained in this press release other than historical facts may be
considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. We intend for all such forward-looking statements to be
covered by the applicable safe harbor provisions for forward-looking
statements contained in those acts. Such statements include, in
particular, statements about our plans, strategies, anticipated
dividends, and prospects and are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties, including known and unknown risks, which could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated.
Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our
performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can
generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such
as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“believe,” “continue,” or other similar words. Readers are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak
only as of the date of this press release. We make no representations or
warranties (express or implied) about the accuracy of any such
forward-looking statements contained in this press release, and we do
not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Any such forward-looking statements are subject to risks,
uncertainties, and other factors and are based on a number of
assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things,
future economic, competitive, and market conditions, all of which are
difficult or impossible to predict accurately. To the extent that our
assumptions differ from actual conditions, our ability to accurately
anticipate results expressed in such forward-looking statements,
including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations,
make distributions to stockholders, and maintain the value of our real
estate properties, may be significantly hindered. See Item 1A in the
Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2016, for a discussion of some of the risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those presented in our forward-looking statements. The risk factors
described in our Annual Report are not the only ones we face, but do
represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are material to
us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that
we currently deem immaterial may also harm our business.
