Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

This website contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Readers can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “future,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “could,” “can,” “may,” “remain,” “goal,” “target,” “opportunity,” “strive,” “seek,” “anticipate,” and similar terms, although not all forward-looking statements contain such terms. The principal forward-looking statements in this website include our sustainability goals, commitments, and programs; our associate engagement strategy and related initiatives; our business plans, initiatives, and objectives; our assumptions and expectations; the scope and impact of CSR risks and opportunities; and standards and expectations of third parties. These statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including any failure to meet stated sustainability goals and commitments, and execute our strategies in the time frame expected or at all, as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, changing government regulations or stakeholder expectations; assumptions not being realized; unseasonable weather conditions caused by climate change or otherwise adversely impacting demand; natural and man-made disasters, including fire, snow, and ice storms, flood, hail, hurricanes, and earthquakes; and our ability to attract, train, and retain quality associates and temporary personnel in appropriate numbers, as well as the factors set forth in “Item 1A – Risk Factors” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and as may be updated from time to time on Form 10-Q or other subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Any reference to Burlington’s support of a third-party organization within this website does not constitute or imply an endorsement by Burlington of any or all of the positions or activities of such an organization. All forward-looking statements in this website are based upon information available to Burlington on the date of this posting or as of the dates indicated in the statement. We do not undertake to publicly update or revise our forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied in such statements will not be realized. If one or more forward-looking statements are updated, no inference should be made that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
