This report contains forward-looking statements about future events and expectations within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although the Company's management believes its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from our expectations due to uncertainties and factors that are difficult to predict and beyond our control. When we use words in this report such as "expects," "will," and similar expressions, we do so to identify forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements in this report include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding the expected closing date of the transaction and discussion of the Purchase Price. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include, but are not limited to: any failure to meet any closing conditions and deliveries set forth in the Sales Agreement; availability of raw materials and transportation systems; supply disruptions at single-sourced facilities; ability to respond effectively to technological changes in our industry; failure to protect our intellectual property rights; hazards common to chemical businesses; occurrence or threat of extraordinary events, including natural disasters and terrorist attacks; competition from other manufacturers; sudden or sharp raw materials price increases; gain or loss of significant customers; risks related to operating outside of the United States; the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; political, economic, and regulatory factors concerning our products; future governmental regulation; resolution of environmental liabilities or legal proceedings; inability to complete future acquisitions or successfully integrate future acquisitions into our business; and other factors detailed from time to time in the reports that NewMarket files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our 2012 Annual Report, which is available to shareholders upon request. You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made by us in this report or elsewhere speaks only as of the date on which we make it. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. We have no duty to, and do not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements in this report after the date hereof, except as may be required by law. In light of these risks and uncertainties, any forward-looking statement made in this discussion or elsewhere might not occur.
