This press release includes forward-looking statements as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in connection with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements other than statements of historical facts that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding Masimo joining the American Heart Association Center for Health Technology & Innovation; strategic and other potential benefits of becoming a member of the Center for Health Technology & Innovation; Masimo’s development of its existing products or any new product solutions; and other matters that do not relate strictly to historical facts or statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. These statements are often identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “on-going,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “potential,” “predicts,” “forecast,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” or “would,” the negative versions of these terms and similar expressions or variations, but the absence of such words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations about future events affecting us and are subject to risks and uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control and could cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in our forward-looking statements as a result of various risk factors, including, but not limited to: our ability to effectively protect our intellectual property from competitors; our ability to allocate sufficient time resources toward our relationship with the Center for Health Technology & Innovation; obtaining regulatory approval of our current and future products and technologies; and other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, all of which you may obtain for free on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we do not know whether our expectations will prove correct. All forward-looking statements included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of today’s date. We do not undertake any obligation to update, amend or clarify these statements or the “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent reports filed with the SEC, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under the applicable securities laws.
