FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In accordance with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, the Company notes that certain statements set forth in this presentation provide other
than historical information and are forward looking. The actual achievement of any forecasted
results, or the unfolding of future economic or business developments in a way anticipated or
projected by the Company, involve numerous risks and uncertainties that may cause the
Company’s
actual
performance
to
be
materially
different
from
that
stated
or
implied
in
the
forward-looking statement. Among those risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the
control of the Company, include, without limitation, fluctuations in worldwide energy demand
and oil and gas prices; fleet additions by competitors and industry overcapacity; changes in
capital spending by customers in the energy industry for offshore exploration, development and
production;
changing
customer
demands
for
vessel
specifications,
which
may
make
some
of
our
older vessels technologically obsolete for certain customer projects or in certain markets;
instability
of
global
financial
markets
and
difficulty
accessing
credit
or
capital;
acts
of
terrorism
and piracy; significant weather conditions; unsettled political conditions, war, civil unrest and
governmental actions, such as expropriation, especially in higher risk countries of operations;
foreign currency fluctuations; labor influences proposed by international conventions; and
enforcement of laws related to the environment, labor and foreign corrupt practices.
Participants should consider all of these risk factors as well as other information contained in
the Company’s form 10-K’s and 10-Q’s.
