USE OR DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THIS SHEET IS SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON THE TITLE SLIDE. 2 Forward - looking Statements This presentation contains “forward - looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any statements contained in this press release that are not statements of historical fact, including statements regarding margin and working capital improvement results from application of Six Sigma principles, statements regarding anticipated cost synergies by 2016, statements regarding anticipated transaction expenses, and statements about the expected impact of the acquisition on Lydall’s future financial and operational performance and positioning may be deemed to be forward - looking statements . All such forward - looking statements are intended to provide management’s current expectations for the future operating and financial performance of the Company based on current expectations and assumptions relating to the Company’s business, the economy and other future conditions. Forward - looking statements generally can be identified through the use of the words such as: “believes ,” “anticipates,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “plans ,” “projects,” “expects,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “signs,” “predicts ,” “targets,” “prospects ,” “ strategy,” “signs,” and other words of similar meaning in connection with the discussion of future operating or financial performance. Because forward - looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, worldwide economic cycles that affect the markets which the businesses serve which could have an effect on demand for the Company’s products and impact the Company’s profitability; challenges encountered by Lydall in the integration of the acquired business; disruptions in the global credit and financial markets, including diminished liquidity and credit availability; swings in consumer confidence and spending; unstable economic growth; raw material pricing and supply issues; fluctuations in unemployment rates; and increases in fuel prices, which could cause economic instability and could have a negative impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Accordingly , the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward - looking statements. Investors, therefore, are cautioned against relying on any of these forward - looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Additional information regarding the factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from these forward - looking statements is available in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risks and uncertainties identified in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors of Lydall’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2012. These forward - looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation, and Lydall does not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward - looking statement made in this presentation or that may, from time to time, be made by or on behalf of the Company.
