Statements using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “project,” “will,” “plan,” “expect,” “continue,” “estimate,” “goal,” “forecast,” “may” or similar expressions help identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions and current expectations and projections about future events, we cannot give any assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including the following risks: Regency’s ability to consummate the proposed senior notes offering, unexpected difficulties in integrating Regency’s operations as a result of any significant acquisitions, including Regency’s acquisition of Eagle Rock Energy Partners, L.P.’s midstream business, volatility in the price of oil, natural gas, condensate, natural gas liquids and coal, declines in the credit markets and the availability of credit for Regency as well as for producers connected to Regency’s system and its customers, the level of creditworthiness of, and performance by, Regency’s counterparties and customers, Regency’s ability to access capital to fund organic growth projects and acquisitions, Regency’s ability to obtain debt and equity financing on satisfactory terms, Regency’s use of derivative financial instruments to hedge commodity and interest rate risks, the amount of collateral required to be posted from time-to-time in Regency’s transactions, changes in commodity prices, interest rates, and demand for Regency’s services, changes in laws and regulations impacting the midstream sector of the natural gas industry, the oil industry or the coal mining industry, including those that relate to safety, climate change and environmental protection, including with respect to emissions levels applicable to coal-burning power generators and permissible levels of mining runoff, or promoting the use and development of renewable energy or limiting the use or development of fossil fuels, regulation of transportation rates on natural gas, natural gas liquids and oil pipelines, industry changes including the impact of consolidation and changes in competition, Regency’s ability to obtain indemnification for cleanup liabilities and to clean up any hazardous materials release on satisfactory terms, Regency’s ability to obtain required approvals for construction or modernization of Regency’s facilities and the timing of production from such facilities, and the effect of accounting pronouncements issued periodically by accounting standard setting boards, the extent to which the amount and quality of actual production of Regency’s coal differs from estimated recoverable coal reserves, the experience and financial condition of Regency’s coal lessees, operating risks, including unanticipated geological problems, incidental to Regency’s gathering and processing segment and natural resources segment, the ability of Regency’s lessees to produce sufficient quantities of coal on an economic basis from reserves and obtain favorable contracts for such production, delays in anticipated start-up dates of new development in Regency’s gathering and processing segment and Regency’s lessees’ mining operations and related coal infrastructure projects and uncertainties relating to the effects of regulatory guidance on permitting under the Clean Water Act and the outcome of current and future litigation regarding mine permitting. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements.
These and other risks and uncertainties are discussed in more detail in filings made by Regency with the SEC, which are available to the public. Regency undertakes no obligation to update publicly or to revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
