Forward-Looking
Statements
This
filing (including information included or incorporated by reference herein)
includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor
provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Words such as “expect,’ “estimate,” “project,” “budget,”
“forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,”
“believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are
intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Delta's and Northwest’s
expectations with respect to the synergies, costs and charges, capitalization
and anticipated financial impacts of the merger transaction and related
transactions; approval of the merger transaction and related transactions by
shareholders; the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the merger
transaction and related transactions; and the timing of the completion of the
merger transaction and related transactions.
These
forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that
could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results.
Most of these factors are outside our control and difficult to
predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not
limited to, the possibility that the expected synergies will not be realized, or
will not be realized within the expected time period, due to, among other
things, (1) the airline pricing environment; (2) competitive actions taken by
other airlines; (3) general economic conditions; (4) changes in jet fuel prices;
(5) actions taken or conditions imposed by the United States and foreign
governments; (6) the willingness of customers to travel; (7) difficulties in
integrating the operations of the two airlines; (8) the impact of labor
relations, and (9) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates. Other factors include the possibility that the merger does not
close, including due to the failure to receive required stockholder or
regulatory approvals, or the failure of other closing conditions.
Delta and
Northwest caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive.
Additional information concerning these and other risk factors is contained in
Delta’s and Northwest’s most recently filed Forms 10-K. All
subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning Delta,
Northwest, the merger, the related transactions or other matters and
attributable to Delta or Northwest or any person acting on their behalf are
expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Delta
and Northwest do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking
statement, whether written or oral, relating to the matters discussed in this
news release.
