Forward-Looking Statements
Information set forth in this document contains forward-looking statements, which involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Cameron
International Corporation (“Cameron”) and NATCO Group Inc. (“NATCO”) caution readers that any forward-looking information
is not a guarantee
of future performance and that actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking information. Such forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the business combination transaction involving Cameron and NATCO,
including future financial and operating results, the new company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are
not historical facts.
The following additional factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: the
ability to satisfy the closing conditions of the transaction, including obtaining regulatory approvals for the transaction and
the approval of the
merger agreement by the NATCO stockholders; the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully; the risk that the cost savings and
any other synergies from the transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; disruption from the transaction
making it more difficult to maintain relationships with customers, employees or suppliers; the impact of other acquisitions that Cameron or NATCO
have made or may make before the transaction; competition
and its effect on pricing; and exploration and development spending by E&P
operators. Additional factors that may affect future results are contained in Cameron’s and NATCO’s filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”),
which are available at the SEC’s web site http://www.sec.gov. Cameron and NATCO disclaim any obligation to update and
revise statements contained in these materials based on new information or otherwise.
