This press release contains certain statements relating to future business opportunities and conditions, as well as anticipated benefits of the divestiture by AAR CORP. (the “Company”) of the Company’s Landing Gear Overhaul business (the “Divestiture”). Such statements are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and reflect management’s expectations about future conditions. Forward-looking statements may also be identified because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,’’ “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among others, risks associated with the Company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Divestiture as rapidly or to the extent anticipated; the effect of the Divestiture on the Company’s operating results and business generally; and other factors that could affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. These forward-looking statements are based on beliefs of Company management, as well as assumptions and estimates based on information currently available to the Company, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. For a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties, refer to “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as the Company’s other subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize adversely, or should underlying assumptions or estimates prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described and the anticipated benefits of the Divestiture may not be realized. These events and uncertainties are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many are beyond the Company’s control. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, except as required by law.
