• the occurrence of any event that could give rise to the termination of the proposed transaction with TD Bank Group, including in circumstances which would require the Company to pay a termination fee;
• the effect of the announcement or pendency of the proposed transaction with TD Bank Group on the Company’s ability to retain and hire key personnel and its ability to maintain relationships with its customers, clients, vendors and others with whom it does business;
• risks related to diverting management’s attention from the Company’s ongoing business operations; and
• the risk that stockholder litigation in connection with the proposed transaction with TD Bank Group may result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability and may delay the proposed transaction.
