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.
