ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
The Registrant intends to make a company presentation on December 2, 2002 and to include this company presentation on its website. This presentation is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K . The presentation updates previous company presentations by including the Registrant’s full fiscal year 2002 financial results which were disclosed recently in its November 15, 2002 press release.
The furnishing of this Exhibit is not intended to constitute a representation that such furnishing is required by Regulation FD or that the information it contains includes material investor information that is not otherwise publicly available. Statements in Exhibit 99.1 that are not strictly historical are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities laws. Investors are cautioned that such statements are only predictions, and speak only as of December 2, 2002. The Registrant does not assume any obligation to update such information in the future. The Registrant’s actual results in the future may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties that exist in the Registrant’s operations and business environment including, but not limited to: further weakening of economic conditions in served markets; changes in customer demands or customer insolvencies; competition; intellectual property rights; consolidation of internal operations; integration of recently acquired businesses; delivery delays or defaults by customers; performance issues with key suppliers and subcontractors; collective bargaining and labor disputes; changes in laws and regulations; litigation uncertainty; and the Registrant’s successful execution of internal operating plans.
