The following information, including the text of the transcript attached as an exhibit to this Form 8-K, is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01.
On November 20, 2008, NuVasive, Inc. (the “Company”) held a conference call with investors and analysts in a question and answer format. A copy of the transcript of this call is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
The Company cautions you that statements included in the attached Exhibit 99.1 that are not a description of historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors which, if they do not materialize or prove correct, could cause the Company’s results to differ materially from historical results or those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual growth and results to differ materially include, but are not limited to: the risk that the Company’s exposure to off-label use of products in our portfolio is greater than anticipated; the possibility that the DOJ may continue to investigate companies in the spine industry, including the Company; the risk that industry standards with respect to surgeon consultant practices may change; the risk that the general condition of the spine industry may negatively affect the Company at a level greater than anticipated; and other risks and uncertainties more fully described in Company’s press releases and periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission(the “SEC”). The Company’s public filings with the SEC are available at www.sec.gov. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date on which it was made.
The Form 8-K and the information furnished herein shall not be deemed filed with the SEC, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Securities Act of 1933, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any filings.
