Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that involve
a number of risks and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking
statements are set forth in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended March 28, 2020, under the caption "Risk Factors," which is on file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available in the "Investors"
section of our Website under the heading "SEC Filings." Important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by
forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties relating to: the
duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic; the need to develop new products
and adapt to significant technological change; implementation of strategies for
improving growth; general economic conditions and related uncertainties,
dependence on customers' capital spending policies and government funding
policies; the effect of economic and political conditions and exchange rate
fluctuations on international operations; use and protection of intellectual
property; the effect of changes in governmental regulations; and the effect of
laws and regulations governing government contracts, as well as the possibility
that expected benefits related to recent or pending acquisitions, including our
pending acquisition of QIAGEN N.V., may not materialize as expected. While we
may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we
specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, even if our estimates change and,
therefore, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as
representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current
Report on Form 8-K.
