Forward-looking statements This slide presentation contains a number of forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “optimistic,” “intend,” “plan,” “goals,” “may,” “aim,” “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify our forward-looking statements. Examples of forward- looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding being well- positioned for sustainable growth; two distinct portfolios poised for peak performance; top-line growth; 2011 guidance; top-tier organic revenue growth; EPS growth; North America Grocery business description and performance; position within the new reality of the U.S. food industry; Global Snacks business description, ranking, geographic profile and performance; benefits from creating two independent entities; and what’s next. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, increased competition, pricing actions, continued volatility and increases in commodity costs, increased costs of sales, our indebtedness and our ability to pay our indebtedness, risks from operating globally, our failure to successfully execute in emerging markets, our failure to create two success independent companies and tax law changes. For additional information on these and other factors that could affect our forward-looking statements, see our risk factors, as they may be amended from time to time, set forth in our filings with the SEC, including our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. We disclaim and do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this slide presentation, except as required by applicable law or regulation. 3 |
