A. M. Castle & Co. Press Release Dated July 28, 2009 |
Cautionary Statement on Risks Associated with Forward Looking Statements
Information provided and statements contained in this report that are not purely historical are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (Securities Act), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(Exchange Act), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking
statements only speak as of the date of this report and the Company assumes no obligation to update
the information included in this report. Such forward-looking statements include information
concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our
business strategy. These statements often include words such as believe, expect, anticipate,
intend, predict, plan, or similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of
performance or results, and they involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Although we
believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are many
factors that could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including those
risk factors identified in Item 1A Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2008. All future written and oral forward-looking statements by us or
persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements
contained or referred to above. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material
information as required by the federal securities laws, we do not have any obligations or intention
to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances in the future or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
