unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-Q</FONT> for the quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2019 within the prescribed time period because it requires additional time to complete the
investigation described below. The Company is currently unable to predict when it will be able to file its Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-Q</FONT> for the quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2019 and does not currently expect to file by the

Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">8-K</FONT> filed on October&nbsp;24, 2019, the Company began an investigation into certain intra-Company transactions undertaken for the purpose of generating foreign exchange gains or losses. The Audit
Committee of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors is overseeing the investigation with the assistance of independent, experienced external advisors. The investigation is ongoing and the Company cannot predict its duration or outcome. Upon
completion of the investigation and the Company&#146;s evaluation of the materiality of misstatements of its reported <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-operating</FONT> income related to net foreign exchange gains, the Company expects to either
amend its periodic reports previously filed with the SEC to include restated financial statements that correct those misstatements, or include in reports for future periods restated comparative financial statements that correct those misstatements.
The Company also is considering the extent to which these matters affect the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As part of
any corrections to previously issued financial statements after completion of the investigation of intra-Company transactions, the Company also expects to correct certain items that affect operating income and were immaterial to its previously
reported results of operations. These items include the impact of the use of an incorrect foreign exchange rate convention to translate the results of the Company&#146;s foreign operations into U.S. dollars and the impact of the incorrect accounting
for placed equipment that the Company leases to its customers, as previously disclosed in the Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">8-K</FONT> filed on October&nbsp;24, 2019. </P>

of 3% from reported revenues for the third quarter of 2018, and reported operating income of $503&nbsp;million, or 17.6% of sales. Since the investigation relates to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-operating</FONT> income related to net foreign
exchange gains, the Company did not announce net income for the third quarter of 2019. At this stage of the investigation, it is not known whether net income for the third quarter and nine month period ended September&nbsp;30, 2019 will reflect a
significant change from the results for the third quarter and nine-month period ended September&nbsp;30, 2018 because the Company has not determined the extent to which the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-operating</FONT> foreign currency gains
