Forward looking statements
This document contains statements which are, or may be deemed to
be, "forward looking statements" which are prospective in nature.
All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward
-- looking statements. They are based on current expectations and
projections about future events, and are therefore subject to risks
and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ
materially from the future results expressed or implied by the
forward -- looking statements. Often, but not always, forward
looking statements can be identified by the use of forward looking
words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "is subject to",
"budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends",
"anticipates", "believes", "targets", "aims", "projects" or words
or terms of similar substance or the negative thereof, are forward
-- looking statements, as well as variations of such words and
phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results
"may", "could", "should", "would", "might" or "will" be taken,
occur or be achieved. Such statements are qualified in their
entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future
expectations. Forward -- looking statements include statements
relating to (a) future capital expenditures, expenses, revenues,
earnings, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition,
dividend policy, losses and future prospects, (b) business and
management strategies and the expansion and growth of Tesco's
operations, and (c) the effects of global economic conditions on
Tesco's business.
Such forward -- looking statements involve known and unknown
risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected
results and are based on certain key assumptions. Many factors may
cause actual results, performance or achievements of Tesco to be
materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by the forward looking
statements. Important factors that could cause actual results,
performance or achievements of Tesco to differ materially from the
expectations of Tesco, include, among other things, general
business and economic conditions globally, industry trends,
competition, changes in government and other regulation and policy,
including in relation to the environment, health and safety and
taxation, labour relations and work stoppages, interest rates and
currency fluctuations, changes in its business strategy, political
and economic uncertainty, including as a result of global pandemics
and other factors. Such forward -- looking statements should
therefore be construed in light of such factors. Neither Tesco nor
any of its directors, officers or advisers provides any
representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the
events expressed or implied in any forward -- looking statements in
this document will actually occur. You are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward -- looking statements, which speak
only as of the date hereof. Other than in accordance with its legal
or regulatory obligations, Tesco is not under any obligation and
Tesco expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or
revise any forward -- looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise.
The release, publication or distribution of this announcement in
jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom may be restricted by
law and therefore any persons who are subject to the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom should inform themselves
about, and observe, any applicable requirements. The information
disclosed in this announcement may not be the same as that which
would have been disclosed if this announcement had been prepared in
accordance with laws and regulations of any jurisdiction outside of
England.
