Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements generally preceded by, followed by or that include the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate” or similar expressions. These statements include, among others, statements regarding the damages our facilities may have sustained as a result of the chlorine gas release, how we plan to remediate such damages, how we intend to mitigate any losses caused by the chlorine, and the anticipated impact of the train wreck on our productive capacity and our financial condition and results of operations.

Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are not guarantees of performance or outcomes. These statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information. Forward-looking statements also involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict.

You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.
