Statements relating to the prospects of the business, estimates for operating and financial results, and those related to growth prospects of Lojas Americanas, eventually expressed in this release, are merely projections and, as such, are based exclusively on the expectations of Lojas Americanas’ management concerning the future of the business and its continued access to capital to fund the Company’s business plan. Such statements depend, substantially, on changes in market conditions, government regulations, competitive pressures, the performance of the Brazilian economy and the industry, among other factors and are, therefore, subject to change without prior notice.
