Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements as defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended that are based on assumptions about a number of important factors and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from what appears in this news release. These factors include, but are not limited to: 1) the concentration of approximately two-thirds of CSG’s revenues with four clients; as a result, the loss of business from any one of those clients could potentially have a material adverse impact to CSG’s financial results; 2) CSG’s dependency on a variety of computing environments and communications networks, as well as risks inherent to transitioning data centers, thus subjecting CSG to the risks of extended interruptions, outages, unauthorized access and corruption of data; 3) the timing, duration, and degree of an economic turnaround are uncertain; thus there can be no assurances regarding the performance of our business, and the potential impact to our clients and key vendors, resulting from the current economic conditions; 4) continued market acceptance of CSG’s Advanced Convergent Platform (ACP) and related products and services; 5) CSG’s ability to continuously develop and enhance products in a timely, cost-effective, technically advanced and competitive manner; 6) CSG’s ability to implement new solutions, and migrate or convert clients to our solutions in a timely and effective manner; 7) CSG’s dependency on the North American communications industry; as a result, key market factors such as further industry consolidation, new market entrants that may not be clients of CSG, macroeconomic conditions affecting the credit and equity markets generally, and/or the financial status of CSG clients may affect CSG’s ability to maintain and expand market share; 8) increasing competition in our market from companies of greater size and with broader presence in the communications sector, thus exerting greater influence over client buying decisions; 9) CSG’s ability to successfully integrate and manage acquired businesses, technology or assets to achieve the expected strategic, operating and financial goals established for such acquisitions; and 10) CSG’s continued ability to protect its intellectual property rights. This list is not exhaustive and readers are encouraged to review the additional risks and important factors described in CSG’s reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and other filings made with the SEC.
