ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
On December 5, 2000, Triton Energy Limited will present an investor update
entitled "Investor Update - December 5, 2000". The investor update has been
revised to reflect, among other events, the commencement of production from the
Ceiba field in Equatorial Guinea and the spudding of an exploration well in
Equatorial Guinea on December 2. A copy of the presentation can be reviewed at
our web site, www.tritonenergy.com, by first visiting our Investor Relations
page and then choosing Presentations.
Please note that certain information contained in the update, as well as
written and oral statements made or incorporated by reference from time to time
by Triton and our representatives in our reports and filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, news releases, conferences, teleconferences, web
postings, or otherwise, may be deemed to be "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to the "Safe
Harbor" provisions of those statutes. Forward-looking statements include
statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies and future
operations and performance and the assumptions underlying such forward-looking
statements, such as drilling schedules; future production; our capital budget
and future capital requirements; estimates of reserves; and estimates of
revenues, expenses and income. The words "anticipates," "estimates," "expects,"
"believes," "intends," "plans," "may," "will," "should" and similar expressions
are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements are based on then current expectations and
involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which are discussed in detail in
our Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our report on Form
10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2000, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1999, as well as in the context of such
forward-looking statements. Actual results and developments could differ
materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements due to these
and other factors.
We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
The information in this report (including the exhibits, if any) is
furnished pursuant to Item 9 and is not "filed" for the purposes of Section 18
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities
of that Section. This report is not an admission as to the materiality of any
information reported pursuant to this filing.
