Any 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 provided and performance of the contract continuing for its full term. In addition, the contract provides, under certain circumstances, for reduction in prices based on information from periodic benchmarking studies. Because Elekta pays a significant portion of the fees for this engagement based on the volumes of service performed by Unisys, because pricing is subject to change as a result of benchmarking studies, and because the agreement is terminable before the end of its term, the estimated value of the engagement is not guaranteed.
