The Alberga Group appreciates your interest in their products and services and your visit to this web site (the "Site"). We intend to give you as much control as possible over your personal information and it is important to us that you feel comfortable in visiting the Site. Any personal information that you give us including your e-mail address may be used in the following ways. If you give us personal information in order to receive information in return from us - for instance when submitting requests for annual reports, or other information on the Alberga Companies - we may collect and store your information as it enables us to fulfill your information request. We may also use that personal information for marketing and promotional purposes. If you do not want it used by us for these purposes, you can simply "opt-out" by emailing your request to us via our contact form. We will not willfully sell or provide your personal information to third parties who are not our subsidiaries, joint venture partners or associates. The Site may contain links to websites that are not related to the Alberga Companies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such websites. If you review or download information, we may track the visit through the use of "cookies" (pieces of information that a web site transfers to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes). The use of cookies is common, and you will find cookies at most major websites. Cookies help us to tailor information to your preferences and to see which areas of the Site are frequented most. We never use cookies to retrieve from your computer information that was not originally sent by us in a cookie. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can change your browser settings to refuse cookies. However, in so doing, you may not be able to fully utilize the Site. The Alberga Group uses security devices and procedures that are standard for websites of this type to protect your personal data.

Cautionary notice

Statements made on the Site or in materials posted on or referred to on the Site, including but not limited to those included in the section Investor Relations, Newsroom and Corporate Social Responsibility may be forward-looking statements, which do not refer to historical facts but refer to expectations based on management's current views and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those included in such statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Many of these risks and uncertainties relate to factors that are beyond the Alberga Group’s ability to control or estimate precisely, such as the effect of general economic or political conditions, fluctuations in exchange rates or interest rates, increases or changes in competition, the Alberga Group’s ability to implement and complete successfully its plans and strategies, the benefits from and resources generated by the Alberga Group’s plans and strategies being less than or different from those anticipated, changes in the Alberga Group’s liquidity needs, the actions of competitors and third parties and other factors discussed in the Alberga Group’s public filings. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of the relevant information on the Site or in materials posted on or referred to on the Site. The Alberga Group does not assume any obligation to update any public information or forward-looking statements in the Site or in materials posted on or referred to on the Site to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, except as may be required by securities laws.

No information on the Site constitutes an invitation to invest or otherwise deal in the shares or other securities of Alberga Companies or an invitation by or on behalf of Alberga Companies to enter into a contract with you, except with regard to the Terms of use.
