Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking
Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements,
including statements regarding the future success of our business,
development strategies and future opportunities. When used in this
news release, the words such as "could", "plan", "estimate",
"expect", "intend", "may", "potential", "should" and similar
expressions indicate forward looking statements.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements, as there can be no assurance that the
plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are based will
occur. By their nature, forward-looking statements are based on the
opinions and estimates of management on the date that the
statements are made and involve numerous assumptions, known and
unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that
contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts,
projections and other events contemplated by the forward-looking
statements will not occur or will differ materially from those
expected. Although Sangoma believes that the expectations
represented by such forward-looking statements are reasonable based
on the current business environment, there can be no assurance that
such expectations will prove to be correct as these expectations
are inherently subject to business, economic and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies. Some of the risks and other
factors which could cause results to differ materially from those
expressed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to risks and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19
pandemic, changes in exchange rate between the Canadian Dollar and
other currencies, the variability of sales between one reporting
period and the next, changes in technology, changes in the business
climate in one or more of the countries that Sangoma operates in,
changes in the regulatory environment, the rate of adoption of the
Company's products in new markets, the decline in the importance of
the PSTN and new competitive pressures. The forward- looking
statements contained in this press release are expressly qualified
by this cautionary statement and Sangoma undertakes no obligation
to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or
management's estimates or opinions should change except as required
by law.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services
Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture
Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of
this release.
