SAFE HARBOUR STATEMENT:
This announcement may contain forward-looking statements, including
'forward-looking
statements' within the meaning of the
United States Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as 'expects',
'anticipates', 'intends' or the
negative of these terms and other similar
expressions of future performance or
results, including financial objectives to
2010, and their negatives are intended
to identify such forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking
statements are based upon current
expectations and assumptions regarding
anticipated developments and other
factors affecting the Group. They are
not historical facts, nor are they
guarantees of future performance.
Because these forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties, there
are important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially
from those expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements, including,
among others, competitive pricing and
activities, consumption levels, costs,
the ability to maintain and manage key
customer relationships and supply chain
sources, currency values, interest
rates, the ability to integrate
acquisitions and complete planned divestitures,
the ability to complete planned
restructuring activities,
physical risks, environmental risks,
the ability to manage regulatory, tax and
legal matters and resolve pending
matters within current estimates, legislative,
fiscal and regulatory developments,
political, economic and social conditions in
the geographic markets where the Group
operates and new or changed priorities of
the Boards.
Further details of potential risks and
uncertainties affecting the
Group are described in the Group's
filings with the London Stock Exchange,
Euronext Amsterdam and the US
Securities and Exchange Commission, including the
Annual Report & Accounts on Form
20-F. These forward-looking statements speak
only as of the date of this
announcement. Except as required by any applicable
law or regulation, the Group expressly
disclaims any obligation or undertaking
to release publicly any updates or
revisions to any forward-looking statements
contained herein to reflect any change
in the Group's expectations with regard
thereto or any change in events,
conditions or circumstances on which any such
statement is based.
