Forward Looking Statements
Some of the information included in this report contains forward-looking statements, such as
statements related to the cash tender offer for the Notes. Because these forward-looking statements
involve numerous risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause our actual
results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, and you should not rely
on the forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events or circumstances
reflected in the forward-looking statements might not occur. You can identify forward-looking
statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as believes, expects, may, will,
should, seeks, approximately, intends, plans, forecasting, pro forma, estimates or
anticipates or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases. You can also
identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent on assumptions, data or methods that may be
incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them. We caution you not to place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our analysis only and speak as of the date of
this report or as of the dates indicated in the statements. All of our forward-looking statements
are qualified in their entirety by this statement. We assume no obligation to update or supplement
forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and
future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking
statements contained in this report: any material adverse change in the financial or securities
markets within or outside the United States or in political, financial or economic conditions
within or outside the United States or any material outbreak or material escalation of hostilities
