SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
This presentation contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, that are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions, current expectations, estimates and
forecasts. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements that are preceded by, followed
by, or that include, words such as “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan,” “anticipate” and other
words and terms of similar meaning are forward-looking statements. West’s estimated or anticipated
future results, product performance or other non-historical facts are forward-looking and reflect our
current perspective on existing trends and information.
Many of the factors that will determine the Company’s future results are beyond the ability of the
Company to control or predict. These statements are subject to known or unknown risks or uncertainties,
and therefore, actual results could differ materially from past results and those expressed or implied in
any forward-looking statement. You should bear this in mind as you consider forward-looking statements.
A non-exclusive list of important factors that may affect future results may be found in West’s filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual report on Form 10-K and our periodic
reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K.
You should evaluate any statement in light of these important factors.
