However, the integration of the acquisition into our business is not without risks, including the inability to recover associated investment costs or realize anticipated synergies, costly and inconvenient delays that have the potential to disrupt our operations or delay the realization of expected business outcomes, regulatory scrutiny and hurdles which may also cause untimely delays and diversion of management attention from core business operations. For more information about our recent transactions, see “ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Significant Factors Affecting our Results of Operation — Recent Acquisitions.” In addition, the growth of our business, including any future growth through acquisitions, could place significant demands on our management and operational and financial infrastructure.

We are subject to competition and antitrust laws, rules and regulations, and we could become subject to investigations into the strength of our position or market allocation in Ukraine. Given our strong presence in Ukraine, such investigations or similar legal action or proceedings by any regional, national, supranational competition, antitrust or other regulatory authorities could give
