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, including statements about expected revenue
growth and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. 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.
