This Presentation contains certain forward-looking statements that reflect HEP's current views with respect to future events and financial and operational performance, including but not limited to risks specific to HEP's business and the implementation of strategic initiatives, as well as other statements relating to HEP’s future business development and economic performance. Forward-looking statements are statements in this Presentation that do not relate to historical facts and events. The words "will", "believes", "assumes”, "intends", "estimates", "expects", "may", "plans", "seeks", "approximately", "aims", "projects", "anticipates" or similar expressions regarding indications or prognoses of future developments or trends, which are not statements based on historical facts, constitute forward-looking information. While these forward-looking statements represent HEP's judgments and future expectations concerning the development of its business, a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors could cause actual developments and results to differ materially from HEP's expectations. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, it is possible that the future events referred to in this Presentation may not occur. Because these forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, the outcome could differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking statements as a result of: absence of the ownership title with respect to certain properties, including real estate connected to 17 out of 26 of the hydro power plants which the Group currently operates in the Republic of Croatia; HEP's ability to maintain and increase market share for its products and services and control expenses; changes in the competitive environment and competitive pressures; any declines in property values and asset quality; any decline in the availability of financing at acceptable prices; changes in general economic and business conditions; changes and fluctuations in interest rates, share prices and exchange rates; political, governmental, legislative and regulatory changes or changes in political or social conditions; changes in HEP's credit ratings; changes in economic conditions in the countries in which the Group operates; the extent and nature of future developments in the lending market and in other market segments that have been affected by the global financial crisis and the European sovereign debt crisis; other market and macro-economic developments, including movements in local and international securities markets, credit spreads, currency exchange rates and interest rates, whether or not arising directly or indirectly from the global financial crisis or the European sovereign debt crisis; changes in internal risk control; limitations in the effectiveness of HEP's internal risk management processes, of its risk measurement, control and modelling systems, and of financial models generally; developments relating to HEP's access to capital and funding; changes in the financial position or creditworthiness of HEP's customers, obligors and counterparties, and developments in the markets in which they operate; management changes and changes to the structure of HEP's business group; the occurrence of operational failures, such as fraud, unauthorized trading and systems failures; technological developments; and the impact of all such future developments on positions held by HEP. Additional factors that could cause HEP's actual business, results of operations or financial condition to differ from the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the other factors that HEP has indicated in other parts of this Presentation which could materially adversely affect its business and financial performance. The forward-looking statements included in this Presentation speak only as of the date of this Presentation. HEP undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise
