otherwise consummate the proposed acquisition of the Dyneema business;
• Our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the proposed acquisition of the Dyneema business and possible sale of the Distribution business;
• 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;
• The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks;
• The current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows, including without any limitation, any supply chain and logistics issues;
• Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business;
• Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply;
• Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs;
• Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters;
• Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends;
• Information systems failures and cyberattacks;

The runner balance can be designed by using computer mold-flow
analysis programs and verified by performing short-shot studies.
As a result of overpacking, parts may also develop high molded-in stresses, which lead
to warpage.
The material flow may be estimated by eye or by using flow analysis programs.
