Please note that certain information contained in the presentation, as well as certain written and
oral statements made or incorporated by reference from time to time by us or our representatives in
our reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, news releases, conferences,

Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and

provisions of those statutes. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such
as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “forecast,”

general economic and business conditions and industry trends; |
| |
| |
• |
|
the continued strength of the industry segments in which we are involved; |
| |
| |
• |
|
decisions about offshore developments to be made by oil and gas companies; |
| |
| |

• |
|
our future financial performance, including availability, terms and deployment of capital; |

| |
| |
• |
|
changes in, or our ability to comply with, government regulations, including those relating to the environment; |
| |
| |
• |
|
rapid technological changes; and |
| |
| |
• |
|
social, political and economic situations in foreign countries where we do business and the possibilities of war, other
armed conflicts or terrorist attacks. |
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions
underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual outcomes could vary materially
from those indicated. For additional information regarding these and other factors that could
cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking
statements, see our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of our forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
