Frequently Asked Questions

This means that while the information is publicly available, it is not subject to the same level of liability under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as if it were formally 'filed' with the SEC. However, the company may choose to incorporate this information into other filings where it would be considered 'filed'.

This specific 8-K filing only furnishes the press release for the first quarter 2015 results. Any forward-looking guidance would typically be included within that press release itself. Investors should carefully review the content of Exhibit 99.1 for any such guidance.
