Our ability to successfully integrate Spartech and achieve the expected results of the acquisition, including, without limitation, the acquisition
being accretive;
Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability
and cost of credit in the future;
