Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains "forward-looking statements" - that is, statements related to future, not past, events. In this context, forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial performance, and often contain words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," or "will." Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. For us, particular uncertainties arise from the behavior of financial markets, including fluctuations in interest rates and commodity prices, from future integration of acquired businesses, from future financial performance of companies in the airline industry, from unanticipated loss development in our insurance businesses, from future consequences of possible terrorist acts, and from numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including those of a political, economic, business, competitive or regulatory nature. We do not undertake to update these forward-looking statements.
