Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, are forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Although we believe that in making any such forward-looking statement our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such forward-looking statement involves uncertainties and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the discussion of risk factors under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and the discussion under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Annual Reports on Form 10-K (and in the corresponding sections of any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q) filed by each of EFH Corp., EFIH and Energy Future Competitive Holdings Company LLC and the following important factors, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements:
| • | our ability to obtain the approval of the Bankruptcy Court with respect to motions filed in the bankruptcy proceedings, including with respect to the EFIH Second Lien Settlement and the issuance of convertible second lien subordinated secured DIP financing notes due 2016; |
| • | the effectiveness of the overall restructuring activities pursuant to the bankruptcy filing and any additional strategies we employ to address our liquidity and capital resources; |
| • | the terms and conditions of any reorganization plan that is ultimately approved by the Bankruptcy Court; |
| • | the actions and decisions of creditors, regulators and other third parties that have an interest in the bankruptcy proceedings; |
| • | the duration of the bankruptcy proceedings; and |
| • | restrictions on us due to the terms of debtor-in-possession financing facilities and restrictions imposed by the Bankruptcy Court. |
Any forward-looking statement speaks only at the date on which it is made, and except as may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them; nor can we assess the impact of each such factor or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. As such, you should not unduly rely on such forward-looking statements.
