Forward-Looking Statements
This blog contains
forward-looking statements that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those referred to in the forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical
fact (including statements containing the words believes, plans, anticipates, expects, estimates and similar expressions) are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements,
although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. For example, statements regarding integration plans and the expected benefits to Cisco, Acacia, and their respective customers from completing the acquisition are
forward-looking statements. Risks, uncertainties and assumptions include those described in the joint press release announcing our proposed acquisition of Acacia and in Ciscos SEC reports (including but not limited to its most recent reports
on Form
10-Q
and Form
10-K
filed with the SEC on May 21, 2019 and September 6, 2018, respectively). These documents are available free of charge at the
SECs website at www.sec.gov or by going to Ciscos Investor Relations website at https://investor.cisco.com. If any of these risks or uncertainties materializes or any of these assumptions proves incorrect, Ciscos results could
differ materially from its expectations in these statements. Cisco undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement for any reason.
