Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements.
The Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking
statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their
business.
Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals,
strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which
are other than statements of historical facts.
The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this
safe harbor legislation.
The words "believe," "anticipate," "intends," "estimate," "forecast,"
"project," "plan," "potential," "may," "should," "expect," "pending" and similar expressions
identify forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many
of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, our
management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other
data available from third parties.
Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable
when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and
contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot
assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.
In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in our view, could cause
actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include
the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including
fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand for containership capacity,
changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, the
market for our vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, changes in governmental rules
and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or
future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of
shipping routes due to accidents or political events, vessel breakdowns and instances of off-hires
and other factors.
Please see our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a more
complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.
