We believe that we have a reasonable basis for making such forward‐looking statements. The forward‐looking statements in this document are based on our experience, our perception of trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors. Certain material factors or assumptions were applied in drawing the conclusions or making the forecasts or projections that are included in these forward‐looking statements, including, without limitation, future expectations and assumptions concerning the following: the supply of, demand for and price of methanol, methanol derivatives, natural gas, coal, oil and oil derivatives, our ability to procure natural gas feedstock on commercially acceptable terms, operating rates of our facilities, receipt or issuance of third‐party consents or approvals, including, without limitation, governmental registrations of land title and related mortgages in Egypt and governmental approvals related to rights to purchase natural gas, the establishment of new fuel standards, operating costs, including natural gas feedstock and logistics costs, capital costs, tax rates, tax deductions, cash flows, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, the availability of committed credit facilities and other financing, timing of completion and cost of our Geismar project, global and regional economic activity (including industrial production levels), absence of a material negative impact from major natural disasters, absence of a material negative impact from changes in laws or regulations, absence of a material negative impact from political instability in the countries in which we operate, and enforcement of contractual arrangements and ability to perform contractual obligations by customers, natural gas and other suppliers and other third parties.

However, forward‐looking statements, by their nature, involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward‐looking statements. The risks and uncertainties primarily include those attendant with producing and marketing methanol and successfully carrying out major capital expenditure projects in various jurisdictions, including, without limitation: conditions in the methanol and other industries including fluctuations in the supply, demand and price for methanol and its derivatives, including demand for methanol for energy uses, the price of natural gas, coal, oil and oil derivatives, our ability to obtain natural gas feedstock on commercially acceptable terms to underpin current operations and future production growth opportunities, the ability to carry out corporate initiatives and strategies, actions of competitors, suppliers and financial institutions, conditions within the natural gas delivery systems that may prevent delivery of our natural gas supply requirements, our ability to meet timeline and budget targets for our Geismar project, including cost pressures arising from labour costs, competing demand for natural gas, especially with respect to domestic needs for gas and electricity in Chile and Egypt, actions of governments and governmental authorities, including, without limitation, the implementation of policies or other measures that could impact the supply of or demand for methanol or its derivatives, changes in laws or regulations, import or export restrictions, anti‐dumping measures, increases in duties, taxes and government royalties, and other actions by governments that may adversely affect our operations or existing contractual arrangements, world‐wide economic conditions, and other risks described in our 2014 Management’s Discussion and Analysis and this First Quarter 2015 Management’s Discussion and Analysis.  

Having in mind these and other factors, investors and other readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward‐looking statements. They are not a substitute for the exercise of one’s own due diligence and judgment. The outcomes implied by forward‐looking statements may not occur and we do not undertake to update forward‐looking statements except as required by applicable securities laws.
