Cautionary Language Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This document and the exhibits hereto contain certain statements that describe our managements
beliefs concerning future business conditions and prospects, growth opportunities and the outlook
for our business, including our business after the proposed acquisition transaction, and the
electricity transmission industry based upon information currently available. Such statements are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Wherever possible, we have identified these forward-looking statements by words such as
anticipates, believes, intends, estimates, expects, projects and similar phrases. These
forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions our management believes are reasonable. Such
forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause our actual
results, performance and achievements to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by,
these statements, including, among other things, the risks and uncertainties disclosed in our
annual report on Form 10-K and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission from time to time.
Because our forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to
significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control
or are subject to change, actual results could be materially different and any or all of our
forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. They speak only as of the date made and can be
affected by assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many factors
mentioned in this document and the exhibits hereto and in our annual and quarterly reports will be
important in determining future results. Consequently, we cannot assure you that our expectations
or forecasts expressed in such forward-looking statements will be achieved. Actual future results
may vary materially. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any
of our forward-looking or other statements, whether as a result of new information, future events,
or otherwise.
This document and the exhibits do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer
to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in
which such offering would be unlawful.
