In connection with, and because it desires to take advantage of, the “safe
harbor” provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Delphi cautions readers regarding certain
forward-looking statements in the foregoing discussion and in any other
statements made by, or on behalf of, Delphi, whether in future filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise.
Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical
information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial
results, prospects, outlooks or other developments. Some forward-looking
statements may be identified by the use of terms such as “expects,”
“believes,” “anticipates,”
“intends,” “judgment,”
“outlook” or other
similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based
upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to
significant business, economic, competitive and other uncertainties and
contingencies, many of which are beyond Delphi’s
control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions,
are subject to change. Examples of such uncertainties and contingencies
include, among other important factors, those affecting the insurance
industry generally, such as the economic and interest rate environment,
federal and state legislative and regulatory developments, including but
not limited to changes in financial services, employee benefit and tax
laws and regulations, changes in accounting rules or interpretation,
market pricing and competitive trends relating to insurance products and
services, acts of terrorism or war, and the availability and cost of
reinsurance, and those relating specifically to Delphi’s
business, such as the level of its insurance premiums and fee income,
the claims experience, persistency and other factors affecting the
profitability of its insurance products, the performance of its
investment portfolio and changes in Delphi’s
investment strategy, acquisitions of companies or blocks of business,
and ratings by major rating organizations of Delphi and its insurance
subsidiaries. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual
results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of,
Delphi. Forward-looking statements contained in the foregoing discussion
are made as of the date of this press release and Delphi disclaims any
obligation to update these or any other forward-looking statements.
