Safe Harbor

This presentation and other Company reports and statements issued or made from time to time contain certain “forward-looking statements” concerning projected financial performance, expected plans or future operations.

Investors should be aware of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking projections or expectations. These factors include, but are not limited to: cost of gas; gas sales volumes; gas throughput volumes and available sources of natural gas; discounting of transportation rates due to competition; customer growth; abnormal weather conditions in Southern Union’s service areas; impact of relations with labor unions of bargaining-unit employees; the receipt of timely and adequate rate relief and the impact of future rate cases or regulatory rulings; the outcome of pending and future litigation; the speed and degree to which competition is introduced to Southern Union’s natural gas distribution businesses; new legislation and government regulations and proceedings involving or impacting Southern Union; unanticipated environmental liabilities; ability to comply with or to challenge successfully existing or new environmental regulations; changes in business strategy and the success of new business ventures, including the risks that the business acquired and any other business or investment that Southern Union has acquired or may acquire may not be successfully integrated with the business of Southern Union; exposure to customer concentration with a significant portion of revenues realized from a relatively small number of customers and any credit risks associated with the financial position of those customers; factors affecting operations - such as maintenance or repairs, environmental incidents or gas pipeline system constraints; Southern Union’s or any of its subsidiaries’ debt security ratings; the economic climate and growth in the energy industry and service territories and competitive conditions of energy markets in general; inflationary trends; changes in gas or other energy market commodity prices and interest rates; current market conditions causing more customer contracts to be of shorter duration, which may increase revenue volatility; the possibility of war or terrorist attacks; the nature and impact of any extraordinary transactions, such as any acquisition or divestiture of a business unit or any asset.
