Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements. These statements are
based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further
assumptions, including the Company management's examination of historical
operating trends. Although the Company believes that these assumptions were
reasonable when made, because assumptions are inherently subject to significant
uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and
are beyond its control, the Company cannot give assurance that it will achieve
or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or intentions.
Included among the factors that, in the Company's view, could cause actual
results to differ materially from the forward looking statements contained in
this press release are the following:
inability of the Company to obtain financing for the new building vessels at
all or on favourable terms; changes in demand; a material decline or prolonged
weakness in rates for LNG carriers; political events affecting production in
areas in which natural gas is produced and demand for natural gas in areas to
which our vessels deliver; changes in demand for natural gas generally or in
particular regions; changes in the financial stability of our major customers;
adoption of new rules and regulations applicable to LNG carriers and FSRU's;
actions taken by regulatory authorities that may prohibit the access of LNG
carriers or FSRU's to various ports; our inability to achieve successful
utilisation of our expanded fleet and inability to expand beyond the carriage
of LNG; increases in costs including: crew wages, insurance, provisions, repairs
and maintenance; changes in general domestic and international political
conditions; the current turmoil in the global financial markets and
deterioration thereof; changes in applicable maintenance or regulatory
standards that could affect our anticipated dry-docking or maintenance and
repair costs; our ability to timely complete our FSRU conversions; failure of
shipyards to comply with delivery schedules on a timely basis and other factors
listed from time to time in registration statements and reports that we have
filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our
Registration Statement on Form 20-F and subsequent announcements and reports.
Nothing contained in this press release shall constitute an offer of any
securities for sale.
