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 investments in products, technology and
other 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 2013 and the full fiscal year 2013. 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: our 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 mobile products and features; security measures and the risk that they may not be sufficient to secure
our member data adequately or that we are subject to attacks that degrade or deny the ability of members to access our
solutions; expectations regarding our ability to timely and effectively scale and adapt existing technology and network
infrastructure to ensure that our solutions are accessible at all times with short or no perceptible load times; our ability to
maintain our rate of revenue growth and manage our expenses and investment plans; our ability to accurately track our key
metrics internally; members and customers curtailing or ceasing to use our solutions; our core value of putting members first,
which may conflict with the short-term interests of the business; privacy and changes in regulations in the United States,
Europe or elsewhere, which could impact our ability to serve our members or curtail our monetization efforts; litigation and
regulatory issues; increasing competition; our ability to manage our growth; our ability to recruit and retain our employees; the
application of US and international tax laws on our tax structure and any changes to such tax laws; acquisitions we have made
or may make in the future; and the dual class structure of our 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, 2012, and additional information will also be set
forth in our Form 10-Q that will be filed for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, which should be read in conjunction with these
financial results. These documents are or will be available on the SEC Filings section of the Investor Relations page of the
company's website at http://investors.linkedin.com/. All information provided in this release and in the attachments is as of May
