FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The documents relating to the Proposals include forward-looking statements relating to Cadbury Schweppes, Cadbury plc and DPS that are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those pertaining to the anticipated benefits to be realised from the Demerger. The Demerger Documents contain a number of forward-looking statements including, in particular, statements about future events, future financial performance, plans, strategies, expectations, prospects, competitive environment, regulation and supply and demand. These statements may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words "may", "will", "expect", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "plan", "intend", "project", "goal", "target", "scorecard" and similar expressions or the negative of these terms or similar expressions in this website, in the documents included or incorporated by reference herein or therein. The management of the Cadbury Schweppes Group has based these forward-looking statements on its views with respect to future events and financial performance. Actual financial performance of Cadbury plc, Cadbury Schweppes, DPS, the Cadbury Schweppes Group, the Cadbury plc Group or the DPS Group could differ materially from that projected in the forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty of estimates, forecasts and projections, and financial performance may be better or worse than anticipated. Given these uncertainties, readers should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements represent estimates and assumptions only as of the date that they were made. The information which is contained in this part of the website, in the documents included or incorporated by reference herein or therein, is subject to change without notice and neither Cadbury plc, Cadbury Schweppes nor any member of the Cadbury Schweppes Group undertakes any duty to update the forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, except to the extent required by applicable law, US securities law, the Listing Rules, the Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules and other regulations. Readers should carefully read the Demerger Documents in their entirety as they contain important information about the business of Cadbury plc, Cadbury Schweppes, the Cadbury Schweppes Group, and the DPS Group, future benefits of the Demerger, management plans and objectives and the risks faced.
