This filing contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws regarding the Company. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the proposed transaction between the Company and an affiliate and include expectations, estimates and projections concerning the business and operations, financial priorities and strategic plans of the combined entity. You can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “design,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “imply,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “opportunity,” “outlook,” “plan,” “position,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “prospective,” “pursue,” “seek,” “should,” “strategy,” “target,” “would,” “will” or other similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the companies’ control and are difficult to predict. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results and current projections or expectations. Factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those implied in the forward-looking statements include the following: the ability to consummate the proposed transaction between the Company and its affiliate on the proposed terms and timeline; the ability to satisfy various conditions to closing of the proposed transaction, and any conditions imposed on the combined entity in connection with the consummation of the proposed transaction; the risk that anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, including whether the proposed transaction will be accretive within the expected timeframe or at all; negative capital market conditions; the ability to achieve strategic and financial objectives, including with respect to distribution coverage, future distribution levels, proposed projects and completed transactions; adverse changes in laws, including with respect to tax and regulatory matters; the adequacy of capital resources and liquidity, including, but not limited to, availability of sufficient funds to pay distributions, including the distribution to certain affiliates of the Company in connection with the transaction, and access to debt on commercially reasonable terms; and the ability to successfully execute business plans, growth strategies and self-funding models. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and, if applicable, the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
