SECURITIES LAW NOTICE
The information in the Site contains certain forward-looking statements
with respect to Royal Group Technologies Limited, its subsidiaries
and affiliates. These statements are often, but not always made
through the use of words or phrases such as “expect”,
“should continue”, “continue”, “believe”,
“anticipate”, “estimate”, “contemplate”,
“target”, “plan”, “budget”,
“may”, “will”, “schedule”
and “intend” or similar formulations. By their nature,
these forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a
number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable
by management, are inherently subject to significant, known and
unknown, business, economic, competitive and other risks, uncertainties
and other factors affecting Royal specifically or its industry
generally that could cause actual performance, achievements and
financial results to differ materially from those contemplated
by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties
include fluctuations in the level of renovation, remodeling and
construction activity; changes in product costs and pricing; an
inability to achieve or delays in achieving savings related to
the cost reductions or revenues related to sales price increases;
the sufficiency of our restructuring activities, including the
potential for higher actual costs to be incurred in connection
with restructuring activities compared to the estimated costs
of such actions; the ability to recruit and retain qualified employees;
the level of outstanding debt and our current debt ratings; the
ability to meet the financial covenants in our credit facilities;
changes in product mix; the growth rate of the markets into which
Royal’s products are sold; market acceptance and demand
for Royal’s products; changes in availability or prices
for raw materials; pricing pressures resulting from competition;
difficulty in developing and introducing new products; failure
to penetrate new markets effectively; the effect on foreign operations
of currency fluctuations, tariffs, nationalization, exchange controls,
limitations on foreign investment in local business and other
political, economic and regulatory risks; difficulty in preserving
proprietary technology; adverse resolution of litigation and administrative
and intellectual property disputes; changes in environmental regulations;
currency risk exposure and other risks described from time to
time in publicly filed disclosure documents and securities commission
reports of Royal Group Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries
and affiliates. In view of these uncertainties we caution readers
not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Royal disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise
any statements made herein, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
