Forward looking statements

The Information may contain "forward-looking statements" relating to Global and HKN and the business sectors in which they operate. Generally, the words "will", "may", "should", "continue", "believes", "expects", "intends", "anticipates", "forecast", "plan" and "project" or similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the relevant company’s current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Many of these risks, assumptions and uncertainties relate to factors that are beyond the companies’ abilities to control or estimate precisely, such as future market conditions, changes in general economic and business conditions, changes in regulatory environment and the behaviour of other market participants. Global cannot give any assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to have been correct. The reader should not, therefore, place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of the relevant document(s). Global does not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any of the forward-looking statements set out in the Information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required.

Nothing contained in the Information shall be deemed to be a forecast, projection or estimate of the future financial performance of Global or HKN following completion of the Offer unless otherwise stated.

In relation to any Information, the only responsibility accepted by the directors of Global is for the correctness of its reproduction, unless the responsibility statement in any relevant document expressly provides otherwise.

Neither Global nor its affiliated companies have reviewed and none of them is responsible for, or accepts any liability in respect of, any information on any other website that may be linked to this website by a third party.
