9. We Are Not Providing Investment Advice Nor Soliciting Offers

Nothing in this Site constitutes investment advice, including press releases, investor relations materials or our SEC filings. We provide investor relations materials for your convenience and information only. In addition, investor relations materials and our other Site content are not offers to sell or solicitations of an offer to buy any security.

All investors should know that there are “ups” and “downs” in every business and stock. There are no guarantees about the future performance of the stock market or our stock. Before you invest in any security, you can protect yourself by being an educated investor. If you are interested in our stock, we recommend that, at a minimum, you read our latest annual report and 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K reports to the SEC over the past year. Our recent proxy statements for stockholder meetings also contain important information. It is also advisable to learn more about us and our industry through a variety of public materials.

Our recent annual reports, 10-K and 10-Q reports and other materials are accessible through this website. Other materials we have filed with the SEC are available through its website. You can also visit the SEC at its Washington or various regional offices for the same information or hire a document retrieval service to obtain the filings for you.

10. You Should Not Rely on the Stock Price Information on Our Site

We do not generate the information regarding Luminex Corporation stock prices for our Site. Unless otherwise indicated, stock quotes are delayed at least 20 minutes. Stock quotes indicated as “real-time quotes” may be affected by delays in transmission over the Internet, and by other causes. All stock quotes are labeled with “time of last trade” to indicate the timeliness of the data. Stock quotes are believed to be accurate and timely (subject to the aforementioned delays), but Luminex and its suppliers do not warrant or guarantee such accuracy or timeliness.

You should always consult a stock broker or other authorized financial advisor or representative to establish actual stock prices before making any stock trades or other financial decisions. Luminex and its suppliers do not authorize the use of stock quote information for any purpose other than your personal use, and prohibit to the maximum extent allowable the resale, redistribution, and use of this information for commercial purposes. We believe the information regarding our stock prices on the Investor Relations pages is accurate, but we cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the information. You should not rely on the stock price information for investment purposes. We are not liable for any loss or damages, whether direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary, that arise from reliance on information on the Investor Relations pages.

11. Investors Should Not Unduly Rely on Any Forward-Looking Information

Our Site may contain information that includes or is based upon forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, specifically the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements give our expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They typically use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other similar words. Any or all of our forward-looking statements here or in other publications may turn out to be wrong.

Forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many such factors will be important in determining our actual future results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Our actual results may vary materially, and there are no guarantees about the performance of our stock. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. You should see our SEC filings for more information on these and other factors besides those listed here that could also adversely affect us.

We do not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in events, circumstances or expectations or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events after the date on which such statement is made. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess the effect of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements.

You hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify, defend and hold us and our suppliers or affiliates, and any of our or their respective officers, directors, owners, agents, employees, information providers, licensors and licensees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all liability and costs, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with any claim arising out of your use of our Site or any breach by you of these Terms of Use, or the purchase by you of securities, including any liabilities associated with a violation of federal or state securities laws. If the indemnity provided in this paragraph is not available or is insufficient to hold harmless the Indemnified Parties for any reason, you agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims and liabilities to which the Indemnified Parties may be subject in such proportion as appropriate to reflect the relative
fault by you and the Indemnified Parties with respect to the activity giving rise to the indemnity claim. You will cooperate as fully as reasonably required in the defense of any claim. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you and you will not in any event settle any such matter without our written consent.

Luminex reserves the right to change system configurations, product specifications, upgrades, pricing, layouts, options and any other specifications at any time without notice.
