FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Matters discussed in this press release may constitute
forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for
forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to
provide prospective information about their business.
Forward-looking statements include statements concerning
plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance,
and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other
than statements of historical facts.
Frontline desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is
including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe
harbor legislation. The words "believe," "anticipate," "intends,"
"estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan," "potential," "will,"
"may," "should," "expect" "pending" and similar expressions
identify forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this document are based upon
various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further
assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination
of historical operating trends, data contained in Frontline's
records and other data available from third parties. Although
Frontline believes that these assumptions were reasonable when
made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to
significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or
impossible to predict and are beyond Frontline's control, you
cannot be assured that Frontline will achieve or accomplish these
expectations, beliefs or projections. Frontline undertakes no duty
to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to
actual results or changes in expectations.
Important factors that, in Frontline's view, could cause actual
results to differ materially from those discussed in the
forward-looking statements include, without limitation: the
strength of world economies and currencies, general market
conditions, including fluctuations in charterhire rates and vessel
values, changes in demand in the tanker market, including but not
limited to changes in OPEC's petroleum production levels and world
wide oil consumption and storage, changes in Frontline's operating
expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs,
the market for Frontline's vessels, availability of financing and
refinancing, ability to comply with covenants in such financing
arrangements, failure of counterparties to fully perform their
contracts with us, changes in governmental rules and regulations or
actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from
pending or future litigation, general domestic and international
political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due
to accidents or political events, vessel breakdowns, instances of
off-hire and other important factors. For a more complete
discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties associated
with Frontline's business, please refer to Frontline's filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited
to, its annual report on Form 20-F.
This information is subject
of the disclosure requirements pursuant to section 5-12 of the
Norwegian Securities Trading Act.
