Further information about risks and uncertainties affecting zooplus is included throughout our most recent annual and interim reports, which are available on the zooplus website, investors.zooplus.com. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements of zooplus may vary materially from those described in the relevant forward-looking statement as being expected, anticipated, intended, planned, believed, sought, estimated or projected. zooplus neither intends, nor assumes any obligation, to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ from those anticipated.
