This presentation contains various projections and other forward-looking statements which represent Delta’s estimates or
expectations regarding future events. All forward-looking statements involve a number of assumptions, risks and
uncertainties, many of which are beyond Delta’s control, that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the
projected results.Factors which could cause such differences include, without limitation, business, economic,
competitive, industry, regulatory, market and financial uncertainties and contingencies, as well as the “Risk Factors”
discussed in Delta’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 15, 2008. Caution should be taken not to place undue
reliance on Delta’s forward-looking statements, which represent Delta’s views only as of the date of this presentation, and
which Delta has no current intention to update.
In this presentation, we will discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures in talking about our company’s performance.
You can find the reconciliations of those measures to comparable GAAP measures on our website at delta.com.
In connection with its proposed merger with Northwest, Delta will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form S-4 that will include a joint proxy statement of Delta and Northwest that also
constitutes a prospectus of Delta. Delta and Northwest will mail the joint proxy statement/prospectus to their
stockholders.Delta and Northwest urge investors and security holders to read the joint proxy statement/prospectus
regarding the proposed merger when it becomes available because it will contain important information. You may obtain
copies of all documents filed with the SEC regarding this transaction, free of charge, at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).
You may also obtain these documents, free of charge, from Delta’s website (www.delta.com) under the tab “About Delta”
