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 any and all of the outstanding 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
