Press Release dated July 1, 2004 |
This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions and typically can be identified by the use of words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “forecast,” “plan,” “believe” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements contained in this news release include, but are not limited to, the jurisdiction over this matter by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Although NRG believes that its expectations are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to have been correct, and actual results may vary materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated above include, among others, new facts arising of which the Company is not currently aware, and a determination that the U.S. Bankruptcy court does not have exclusive jurisdiction.
NRG undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The foregoing review of factors that could cause NRG’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements included in this Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the risks and uncertainties that may affect NRG’s future results contained in NRG’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.
