Forward-looking statements represent management's beliefs, based upon information available at the time the statements are made, with regard to the matters addressed; they are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties that change over time and could cause actual results or financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the possibility that expected benefits may not materialize in the time frames expected or at all, or may be more costly to achieve; that the merger may not be timely completed, if at all; that prior to completion of the merger or thereafter, the parties' respective businesses may not perform as expected due to transaction-related uncertainties or other factors, including the economic or health effects related to the COVID-19 pandemic; that the parties are unable to implement successful integration strategies; that the required closing conditions are not satisfied in a timely manner, or at all; reputational risks and the reaction of the parties' customers to the merger; diversion of management time to merger-related issues; risk of potential litigation related to the merger; risks associated with BV Financial's pursuit of future acquisitions; risk of expansion into new geographic or product markets; and other factors and risk influences. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Neither BV Financial nor Delmarva Bancshares undertakes any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
