Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 6, 2017, Dover Corporation (the “Company” or “Dover”) is hosting an investor meeting in Rosemont, Illinois. A presentation on the Company’s strategy with an overview of its four segments will be given to investors during the meeting. A copy of the presentation has been posted on the Company's website (http://www.dovercorporation.com) and is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Exhibit 99.1 contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Such statements concern future events and may be indicated by words or phrases such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “suggests,” “will,” “plans,” “should,” “would,” “could,” and “forecast,” or the use of the future tense and similar words or phrases. Forward-looking statements address matters that are uncertain, including, by way of example only: operating and strategic plans, future sales, earnings, cash flows, margins, organic growth, growth from acquisitions, restructuring charges, cost structure, capital expenditures, capital allocation, capital structure, dividends, cash flows, exchange rates, tax rates, interest rates, interest expense, changes in operations and trends in industries in which our businesses operate, anticipated market conditions and our positioning, global economies, and operating improvements. Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Dover refers you to the documents that it files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as its reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, for a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from its current expectations and from the forward-looking statements contained herein. Dover undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law.
The information in this report (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liability of that Section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed by Dover under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
