Risk Factors Relating to Acquisitions

Current report

We may not realize all of the financial and strategic goals of our FirstFleet acquisition and may incur costs relating to integration.

Current report

We face various risks in connection with our acquisition and continuing integration of FirstFleet, including:

Current report

•We might not integrate FirstFleet's 11 locations into our existing network without service disruptions;

Current report

•We may not realize the benefits or cost savings anticipated to be derived from the FirstFleet acquisition as initially predicted, if at all, for a number of reasons, including if a larger than predicted number of customers decide not to continue to use FirstFleet's or our services;

Current report

•Increased leverage could restrict our access to future capital for operations and growth.

Current report

As a result of these risks and challenges, we may not realize the financial and strategic goals that we initially anticipated from the FirstFleet acquisition in a timely manner or at all. In addition, the integration of FirstFleet may be difficult, costly, and time consuming.
