These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding anticipated charges in connection with the reduction in force, the closing of certain of the Company’s offices and contract termination expenses, and the timing and process for completion of these actions. These statements are based on Forrester’s current plans and expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual future activities and results of operations to be materially different from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual future activities and results to differ include, among others, the possibility that: there are impediments to the Company’s ability to execute the reduction in force, office closings or contract terminations as currently contemplated; the actual charges in implementing these actions are higher than anticipated; and there are changes to the assumptions on which the estimated charges associated with these actions are based. Forrester undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
