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 different vessel specifications, which may make some of our older vessels
technologically obsolete for certain customer projects or in certain markets; uncertainty of global
financial market conditions 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 or enforcement of customs or other laws that are not well-
developed or consistently enforced, especially in higher political risk countries where we operate;
foreign currency fluctuations; labor changes proposed by international conventions; increased
regulatory burdens and oversight; and enforcement of laws related to the environment, labor and
foreign corrupt practices. Readers should consider all of these risks factors, as well as other
information contained in the Company’s form 10-K’s and 10-Q’s.
