consummate the proposed merger, the timing of consummation of the proposed
merger, the ability of the parties to secure any required stockholder approval
in a timely manner or on the terms desired or anticipated, the ability to
achieve anticipated benefits and savings, risks related to the potential
disruption of management's attention due to the pending merger, operating
results and businesses generally, the outcome of any legal proceedings related
