Safe Harbor Statement
Certain statements contained in this press release and in our response to recent inquiries we have received from BlackRock Investment Stewardship group that we posted to our website under the Investor Relations section may be deemed to be forward-looking statements under federal securities laws, and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe-harbor created thereby. Such forward-looking statements include, among others, our belief that manufacturing civilian firearms has any reputational or financial risk for our company outside of those risks set out in the Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K; our belief that our stockholders do not associate the criminal use of a firearm with the company that manufactures it; and our belief that the best way to stop the criminal use of firearms and the violence associated with it is to enforce existing laws and to focus stronger efforts on prosecuting those who break them. We caution that these statements are qualified by important risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected by such forward-looking statements including the risks detailed from time to time in our reports filed with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017.
