2 Forward-Looking Statements Forward-Looking Statements These slides and statements made during this presentation contain forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management's current views and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Factors which could cause actual results to differ relate to: (i) the company's ability to realize anticipated profit improvement from its transformation plan, including our ability to realize the expected benefits of our acquisition of the assets of Weyerhaeuser Company’s containerboard, packaging and recycling business in light of integration difficulties and other challenges; (ii) increases in interest rates and our ability to meet our debt service obligations; (iii) industry conditions, including but not limited to changes in the cost or availability of raw materials and energy, transportation costs, competition we face, the company's product mix, demand and pricing for its products; (iv) global economic conditions and political changes, including but not limited to changes in currency exchange rates, credit availability, the company's credit ratings issued by recognized credit rating organizations and pension and health care costs; (v) unanticipated expenditures related to the cost of compliance with environmental and other governmental regulations and to actual or potential litigation; and (vi) whether we experience a material disruption at one of our manufacturing facilities. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. These and other factors that could cause or contribute to actual results differing materially from such forward looking statements are discussed in greater detail in the company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings. |
