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. The Company 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,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,”
“plan,” “target,” “project,” “likely,” “may,” “will,” “would,”
“could” and similar expressions identify forward‐looking
statements.
The forward‐looking statements in this press
release 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 the Company’s records and other data
available from third parties. Although management 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 the Company’s control, there can be no assurance that the
Company will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or
projections. The Company undertakes no obligation, and specifically
declines any obligation, except as required by law, to publicly
update or revise any forward‐looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.
In addition to these important factors, other
important factors that, in the Company’s view, could cause actual
results to differ materially from those discussed in the
forward‐looking statements include unforeseen liabilities, future
capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies,
economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses,
future prospects, business and management strategies for the
continuing impacts of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic,
including its effect on demand for petroleum products and the
transportation thereof, expansion and growth of the Company’s
operations, risks relating to the integration of assets or
operations of entities that it has or may in the future acquire and
the possibility that the anticipated synergies and other benefits
of such acquisitions may not be realized within expected timeframes
or at all, the failure of counterparties to fully perform their
contracts with the Company, the strength of world economies and
currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations in
charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand for tanker
vessel capacity, changes in the Company’s operating expenses,
including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, the market
for the Company’s vessels, availability of financing and
refinancing, charter counterparty performance, ability to obtain
financing and comply with covenants in such financing arrangements,
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, including the impact of the conflict in Ukraine,
potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or
political events, vessels breakdowns and instances of off‐hires,
and other factors. Please see the Company’s filings with the SEC
for a more complete discussion of certain of these and other risks
and uncertainties.
