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, volatility in worldwide energy demand and oil
and gas prices; fleet additions by competitors and industry overcapacity; changes in
capital spending in the energy industry for offshore exploration, field 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; uncertainty of global financial market conditions and difficulty in
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 risk factors as well as other information contained in this report.
