BKU generally identifies forward-looking statements by terminology such as outlook, believes, expects, potential, continues, may, will, could, should, seeks, approximately, predicts, intends, plans, estimates, anticipates or the negative version of those words or other comparable words. Any forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are based on the current plans, estimates and expectations of BKU. This Current Report on Form 8-K may also contain forward-looking statements in connection with BKUs proposed acquisition of Herald National Bank (Herald). The inclusion of any forward-looking information regarding BKU or Herald should not be regarded as a representation that future plans, estimates or expectations contemplated herein will be achieved. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties and assumptions relating to BKUs and Heralds respective operations, financial results, financial condition, business prospects, ability to complete the merger, growth, strategy and liquidity. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated in these statements. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive. BKU does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements.
