Forward-Looking
Information
Forward-looking information, or forward-looking statements,
have been included in this news release to provide information
about Enbridge and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including
management's assessment of Enbridge and its subsidiaries' future
plans and operations. This information may not be appropriate for
other purposes. Forward-looking statements are typically identified
by words such as ''anticipate'', ''expect'', ''project'',
''estimate'', ''forecast'', ''plan'', ''intend'', ''target'',
''believe'', "likely" and similar words suggesting future outcomes
or statements regarding an outlook. Forward-looking information or
statements included in this news release include statements with
respect to the sale of Enbridge's interests in Alliance Pipeline
and Aux Sable (the "Transaction"),
including use of proceeds of the Transaction and transition
matters.
Although Enbridge believes these forward-looking statements
are reasonable based on the information available on the date such
statements are made and processes used to prepare the information,
such statements are not guarantees of future performance and
readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on
forward-looking statements. By their nature, these statements
involve a variety of assumptions, known and unknown risks and
uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results,
levels of activity and achievements to differ materially from those
expressed or implied by such statements. Material assumptions
include assumptions relating to the Company's announced acquisition
of three U.S. gas utilities, financial strength and flexibility;
debt and equity market conditions; and general economic and
competitive conditions. Assumptions regarding the expected supply
of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids,
liquefied natural gas and renewable energy, and the prices of these
commodities, are material to and underlie all forward-looking
statements, as they may impact current and future levels of demand
for the Company's services. Similarly, exchange rates, inflation
and interest rates impact the economies and business environments
in which the Company operates and may impact levels of demand for
the Company's services and cost of inputs and are, therefore,
inherent in all forward-looking statements.
Enbridge's forward-looking statements are subject to risks
and uncertainties including but not limited to those risks and
uncertainties discussed in this and in the Company's other filings
with Canadian and U.S. securities regulators. The impact of any one
assumption, risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular
forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as
these are interdependent and Enbridge's future course of action
depends on management's assessment of all information available at
the relevant time. Except to the extent required by applicable law,
Enbridge assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements made in this news release or otherwise,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
All forward-looking statements, whether written or oral,
attributable to Enbridge or persons acting on the Company's behalf,
are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary
statements.
