In addition to other factors and matters discussed from time to time in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, some important factors that could cause actual results or outcomes for DDi or its subsidiaries to differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements include: that the proposed divestiture of the assembly business and the proposed acquisition of Sovereign Circuits may not close on a timely basis or at all, including due to the failure to satisfy closing conditions or otherwise; the anticipated benefits to the Company of the sale of the assembly business and the acquisition of Sovereign Circuits may not be realized; the final purchase prices received as a result of the sale of the assembly business and the price paid for Sovereign Circuits may be different than anticipated due to post-closing adjustments; changes in general economic conditions in the markets in which we may compete and fluctuations in demand in the electronics industry; the Company's ability to sustain historical margins; increased competition; increased costs; loss or retirement of key members of management; increases in the Company's cost of borrowings or unavailability of additional debt or equity capital on terms considered reasonable by management; and adverse state, federal or foreign legislation or regulation or adverse determinations by regulators.
