Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking
Statements: Information in this press release that involves
Activision’s expectations, plans, intentions
or strategies regarding the future are forward-looking statements that
are not facts and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. In this
release, they are identified by references to dates after the date of
this release and words such as “outlook”,
“will,” “remains,”
“to be,” “plans,”
“believes”, “may”,
“expects,” “intends,”
and similar expressions. Factors that could cause Activision’s
actual future results to differ materially from those expressed in the
forward-looking statements set forth in this release include, but are
not limited to, sales of Activision’s titles
in its fiscal year 2009, shifts in consumer spending trends, the
seasonal and cyclical nature of the interactive game market, Activision’s
ability to predict consumer preferences among competing hardware
platforms (including next-generation hardware), declines in software
pricing, product returns and price protection, product delays, retail
acceptance of Activision’s products, adoption
rate and availability of new hardware and related software, industry
competition, rapid changes in technology and industry standards,
protection of proprietary rights, maintenance of relationships with key
personnel, customers, vendors and third-party developers, domestic and
international economic, financial and political conditions, foreign
exchange rates, integration of recent acquisitions and the
identification of suitable future acquisition opportunities, the timing
and successful completion of the combination of Activision and Vivendi
Games, the combined company’s success in
integrating the operations of Activision and Vivendi Games in a timely
manner, or at all, and the combined company’s
ability to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies of the
transaction to the extent, or in the timeframe, anticipated. Other such
factors include the further implementation, acceptance and effectiveness
of the remedial measures recommended or adopted by the special
sub-committee of independent directors established in July 2006 to
review Activision’s historical stock option
granting practices, by the Board and by Activision, the outcome of the
SEC’s formal investigation, the finalization
of the proposed settlement of the derivative litigation filed in July
2006 against certain current and former directors and officers of
Activision relating to Activision’s stock
option granting practices, and the possibility that additional claims
and proceedings will be commenced, including additional action by the
SEC and/or other regulatory agencies, and other litigation (unrelated to
stock option granting practices) and any additional risk factors
identified in Activision’s most recent annual
report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and the
preliminary proxy statement most recently filed in connection with the
proposed transaction with Vivendi. The forward-looking statements in
this release are based upon information available to Activision as of
the date of this release, and Activision assumes no obligation to update
any such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements believed
to be true when made may ultimately prove to be incorrect. These
statements are not guarantees of the future performance of Activision
and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which
are beyond its control and may cause actual results to differ materially
from current expectations.
