3. Notice to US holders
The Offer relates to the securities of a company incorporated in England and Wales and is subject to UK procedural and disclosure requirements that are different from those of the United States (“US”). Any financial statements or other financial information included in this area of the website may have been prepared in accordance with non-US accounting standards that may not be comparable to the financial statements of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US. It may be difficult for US holders of shares to enforce their rights and any claims they may have arising under the US federal securities laws in connection with the Offer, since each of Daisy and ECSC are located in a country other than the US, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of countries other than the US.
4. Forward-looking statements
Some of the information contained in this part of the Daisy website may include statements that are or may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements”. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this part of the website may be forward-looking statements.

These statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on the current expectations, assessments and assumptions of the management of Daisy and ECSC about future events and are naturally subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances which could cause actual events to differ materially from the future events expected or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Such forward-looking statements include statements about the expected effects of the Offer on Daisy or ECSC, the expected timing and scope of the Offer, synergies, other strategic options and all other statements other than historical facts. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and have not been reviewed by the auditors of Daisy or ECSC. No Daisy Group Company nor any of their respective members, directors, officers, employees, advisers or any person acting on behalf of one or more of them assumes any obligation to update or correct the information contained in this part of the Daisy website (whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise) except as required by applicable law.
