Forward-Looking Statements. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements relating to expectations about our liquidity requirements, the prospects for and anticipated benefits of our strategic initiatives, the amount of additional liquidity anticipated from other arrangements being explored, the proposed transaction between Constellation and MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company ("MidAmerican") and the expected timing and completion of the transaction. Words such as "anticipate," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "will," "should," "may," and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and involve a number of significant risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of Constellation and MidAmerican. Actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause or contribute to such material differences: continued volatility in the credit, commodities and equity markets, the ability to obtain the approval of the transaction by Constellation's shareholders; the ability to obtain governmental approvals of the transaction or to satisfy other conditions to the transaction on the terms and expected timeframe or at all; transaction costs; economic conditions; a material adverse change in the business, assets, financial condition or results of operations of Constellation; a material deterioration in Constellation's retail and/or wholesale businesses and assets; and the effects of disruption from the transaction making it more difficult to maintain relationships with employees, customers, other business partners or government entities. Additional factors that could cause Constellation's results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in the preliminary proxy statement Constellation has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and intends to mail to its shareholders with respect to the proposed transaction, which are available at the Securities and Exchange Commission's Web site (http://www.sec.gov) at no charge. Constellation assumes no responsibility to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future developments except as expressly required by law.
