Forward Looking Statements 1 In this presentation and in related comments by our management, our use of the words “expect,” “anticipate,” “ensure,” “promote,” “target,” “believe,” “improve,” “intend,” “enable,” “continue,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “project,” “projected,” “positioned” or similar expressions is intended to identify forward-looking statements that represent our current judgment about possible future events. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but these statements are not guarantees of any events or financial results, and our actual results may differ materially due to a variety of important factors. Among other items, such factors might include: our ability to comply with the requirements of our credit agreements with the U.S. Treasury as well as the EDC and VEBA; our ability to maintain adequate liquidity and financing sources and an appropriate level of debt; our ability to realize production efficiencies and to achieve reductions in costs as a result of our restructuring initiatives and labor modifications; our ability to restore consumers’ confidence in our viability as a continuing entity and our ability to continue to attract customers, particularly for our new products, including cars and crossover vehicles; significant changes in the competitive environment and the effect of competition on our markets, including on our pricing policies; and overall strength and stability of general economic conditions and of the automotive industry, both in the United States and in global markets. |
