2. Safe Harbor
“Safe Harbor” statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This presentation and the accompanying
conference call contain forward-looking statements about our products, including our planned investments in key strategic areas,
certain non-financial metrics, such as member growth and engagement, and our expected financial metrics such as revenue, adjusted
EBITDA, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation for the second quarter of 2012 and the full fiscal year 2012.
The achievement of the matters covered by such forward-looking statements involves risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If any of
these risks or uncertainties materialize or if any of the assumptions prove incorrect, the company’s results could differ materially from
the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements the company makes.
The risks and uncertainties referred to above include - but are not limited to - risks associated with: the company’s limited operating
history in a new and unproven market; engagement of our members; the price volatility of our Class A common stock; general
economic conditions; expectations regarding the return on our strategic investments; execution of our plans and strategies, including
with respect to acquisitions of other companies; expectations regarding the company’s ability to timely and effectively scale and adapt
existing technology and network infrastructure to ensure that its website is accessible at all times with short or no perceptible load
times; security measures and the risk that the company’s website may be subject to attacks that degrade or deny the ability of
members to access the company’s solutions; our ability to maintain our rate of revenue growth; our ability to accurately track our key
metrics internally; members and customers curtailing or ceasing to use the company’s solutions; the company’s core value of putting
members first, which may conflict with the short-term interests of the business; privacy issues; increasing competition; our ability to
manage our growth and retain our employees; and the dual class structure of the company’s common stock.
Further information on these and other factors that could affect the company’s financial results is included in filings it makes with the
Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the company’s Annual Report
on Form 10-K that was filed for the year ended December 31, 2011, and additional information will also be set forth in our Form 10-Q
that will be filed for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, which should read in conjunction with these financial results. These documents
are available on the SEC Filings section of the Investor Information section of the company’s website at http://investors.linkedin.com/.
