Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation 
Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbour 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 harbour provisions of the 
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe 
harbour legislation. The words "believe", "anticipate", "intends", "estimate", "forecast", "project", "plan", "potential", "may", 
"should", "expect", "pending" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. 

Regulated information 
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, our management's examination of historical operating trends, 
data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe 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 our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or 
accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. 

In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially 
from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the failure of counterparties to fully perform their 
contracts with us, 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 our operating expenses, 
including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, the market for our 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, potential disruption of shipping 
routes due to accidents or political events, vessels breakdowns and instances of off-hires and other factors. Please see 
our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of these and other 
risks and uncertainties.
