of
the
Securities
Act
of
1933
and
Section
21E
of
the
Exchange
Act
of

Such
statements
may
include,
but
are
not
limited
to,
statements
of
plans
and
objectives,
statements
of
future
economic
performance
and
statements
of
assumptions
underlying
such
statements,
and
statements
of
management’s
intentions,
hopes,
beliefs,
expectations
or
predictions
of
the
future.
Forward-looking
statements
can
often
be
identified
by
the
use
of
forward-looking
terminology,
such
as
“should,”
“intend,”
“continue,”
“believe,”
“may,”
“hope,”
“anticipate,”
“goal,”
“forecast,”
“plan,”
“estimate”
and
similar
words

Such
statements
are
based
on
current
expectations
and
are
subject
to
certain
risks,
uncertainties
and
assumptions,
including
but
not
limited
to:
the
outcome
of
the
ongoing
internal
investigation
into,
among
other
things,
the
legality,
under
the
FCPA
and
local
laws,
of
certain
payments
to
agents
and
other
third
parties
interacting
with
government
officials
in
certain
countries
in
Africa
relating
to
the
payment
of
taxes
and
the
importing
of
equipment
(including
any
government
enforcement
action
which
could
arise
out
of
the
matters
under
review
or
that
the
matters
under
review
may
have
resulted
in
a
higher
dollar
amount
of
payments
or
may
have
a
greater
financial
or
business
impact
than
management
currently
anticipates);
prevailing
prices
for
various
commodities;
unanticipated
slowdowns
in
the
Company’s
major
markets;
the
availability
of
credit;
the
risks
and
uncertainties
normally
incident
to
the
construction
industry;
the
impact
of
competition;
the
effectiveness
of
operational
changes
expected
to
increase
efficiency
and
productivity;
worldwide
economic
and
political
conditions;
and
foreign
currency
fluctuations
that
may
affect
worldwide
results
of operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions
prove
incorrect,
actual
results
may
vary
materially
and
adversely
from
those
anticipated,
estimated
or
projected.
These
forward-looking
statements
are
made
as
of
the
date
