**Forward Looking Statements** 

Statements in this release that are not strictly historical, including statements regarding the proposed merger, the expected timetable for completing the merger and any other statements regarding events or developments that we believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future, may be "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual events to differ materially from those suggested or indicated by such forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things: general economic conditions and conditions affecting the industry in which FARO operates; the uncertainty of regulatory approvals; the parties' ability to satisfy the closing conditions and consummate the merger; AMETEK's ability to successfully integrate FARO's operations and employees with AMETEK's existing business; and the ability to realize anticipated growth, synergies and cost savings. Additional information regarding the factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements is available in AMETEK's and FARO's respective Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") filings, including each company's most recent, respective Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this release and neither company assumes any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events and developments or otherwise.
