Siebert does not provide investment, tax or legal advice.
Statements in this press release concerning the Company&#x2019;s
business outlook or future economic performance, anticipated
profitability, revenues, expenses or other financial items,
together with other statements that are not historical facts, are
&#x201C;forward-looking statements&#x201D; as that term is defined
under the Federal Securities Laws. Forward-looking statements are
subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause
actual results to differ materially from those stated in such
statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include,
changes in general economic and market conditions, fluctuations in
volume and prices of securities, changes and prospects for changes
in interest rates and demand for brokerage and investment banking
services, increases in competition within and without the discount
brokerage business through broader service offerings or otherwise,
competition from electronic discount brokerage firms offering
greater discounts on commissions than Siebert, prevalence of a flat
fee environment, decline in participation in equity or municipal
finance underwriting, decreased ticket volume in the discount
brokerage division, limited trading opportunities, increases in
expenses, changes in net capital or other regulatory requirements.
As a result of these and other factors, Siebert may experience
material fluctuations in its operating results on a quarterly or
annual basis, which could materially and adversely affect its
business, financial condition, operating results, and stock price,
as well as other risks detailed in the Company&#x2019;s filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the Company
believes that the expectations reflected in &#x201C;forward-looking
statements&#x201D; are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future
results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
any such &#x201C;forward-looking statements,&#x201D; and the Company
disclaims any obligation to update the information contained herein
or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to such
&#x201C;forward-looking statements&#x201D; to reflect future events
or developments. An investment in Siebert involves various risks,
including those mentioned above and those, which are detailed from
time to time in Siebert&#x2019;s Securities and Exchange Commission
filings. Copies of the company&#x2019;s SEC filings may be obtained
