			The statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not historical statements are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available as well as management’s assumptions and beliefs today.

Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements include risks that the North American unitary HVAC and refrigeration markets perform worse than current assumptions. Additional risks include but are not limited to the impact of higher raw material prices, availability and timely delivery of raw materials and other components, competition in the HVACR business, ability to meet customer demand, the impact of new or increased trade tariffs, the Company’s ability to successfully execute its business strategy including implementing price increases for its products and services, economic conditions in our markets, regulatory changes, the impact of unfavorable weather, and a decline in new construction activity and related demand for products and services. For information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties, see the Company’s publicly available filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
