All such forward-looking information and statements are made and disclosed in reliance upon the safe harbour provisions of applicable Canadian and United States securities laws. Forward-looking information and statements include all information and statements regarding CGI's intentions, plans, expectations, beliefs, objectives, future performance, and strategy, as well as any other information or statements that relate to future events or circumstances and which do not directly and exclusively relate to historical facts.

Forward-looking information and statements often but not always use words such as "believe", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "anticipate", "foresee", "plan", "predict", "project", "aim", "seek", "strive", "potential", "continue", "target", "may", "might", "could", "should", and similar expressions and variations thereof. These information and statements are based on our perception of historic trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other assumptions, both general and specific, that we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. Such information and statements are, however, by their very nature, subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, of which many are beyond the control of CGI, and which give rise to the possibility that actual results could differ materially from our expectations expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking information or forward-looking statements.

Furthermore, readers are reminded that forward-looking information and statements are presented for the sole purpose of assisting investors and others in understanding our objectives, strategic priorities and business outlook as well as our anticipated operating environment. Readers are cautioned that such information may not be appropriate for other purposes.

除非另有說明,否則本新聞稿中包含的前瞻性信息和陳述均自發布之日起作出,除非適用法律要求,否則CGI不打算或義務公開更新或修改任何前瞻性信息或前瞻性陳述,無論是由於新信息、未來事件還是其他原因。儘管我們認爲截至本新聞稿發佈之日,這些前瞻性信息和前瞻性陳述所依據的假設是合理的,但提醒讀者不要過分依賴這些前瞻性信息或陳述。此外,提醒讀者,提供前瞻性信息和陳述的唯一目的是幫助投資者和其他人了解我們的目標、戰略優先事項和業務前景以及我們預期的運營環境。請讀者注意,此類信息可能不適用於其他目的。
