within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. These statements are based on management's current
expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainty and changes in
circumstances, which may cause actual results, performance,
financial condition or achievements to differ materially from
anticipated results, performance, financial condition or
achievements. All statements contained herein that are not clearly
historical in nature are forward-looking and the words
"anticipate," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "plan," and similar
expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking
statements. We have no intention and are under no obligation to
update or alter (and expressly disclaim any such intention or
obligation to do so) our forward-looking statements whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to
the extent required by law. The forward-looking statements in this
release include statements addressing our future financial
condition and operating results, and the impact on our operations
resulting from the coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19"). Examples
of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those described in the forward-looking statements include,
among others, the extent, severity and duration of COVID-19
negatively affecting our business operations; business, economic,
competitive and regulatory risks, such as conditions affecting
demand for products in the automotive and other industries we
serve; competition and pricing pressure; fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates and commodity prices; natural disasters and
political, economic and military instability in countries in which
we operate; developments in the credit markets; future goodwill
impairment; compliance with current and future environmental and
other laws and regulations; and the possible effects on us of
changes in tax laws, tax treaties and other legislation, including
the effects of Swiss tax reform. In addition, the extent to which
COVID-19 will impact our business and our financial results will
depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and
cannot be predicted. Such developments may include the geographic
spread of the virus, the severity of the virus, the duration of the
outbreak, the impact on our suppliers' and customers' supply
chains, the actions that may be taken by various governmental
authorities in response to the outbreak in jurisdictions in which
we operate, and the possible impact on the global economy and local
economies in which we operate. More detailed information about
these and other factors is set forth in TE Connectivity Ltd.'s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Sept. 25, 2020 as well as in our Quarterly
