Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
(a) On August 4, 2009, Primus Guaranty, Ltd. (the "Registrant") issued a press
release announcing operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. A copy
of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report. This
exhibit shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the U.S.
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and shall not be incorporated by
reference in any filing by the Registrant under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.
Statements in the press release referred to above that are not historical facts
are forward-looking and based on management's projections, assumptions and
estimates; actual results may vary materially. Forward-looking statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which may change over time and which
include but are not limited to: fluctuations in the economic, credit, interest
rate or foreign currency environment in the United States and abroad; the level
of activity within the national and international credit and capital markets;
the level of activity in the leveraged buyout and private equity markets;
competitive conditions and pricing levels; changes in ratings agency
requirements or methodology; counterparty limits and risks; legislative and
regulatory developments; technological developments; changes in tax laws;
changes in national or international political or economic conditions, including
any terrorist attacks; successful implementation of the Registrant's 2009
Business Outlook and Strategy and the Registrant's ability to effectively
integrate and manage the CypressTree Investment Management, LLP acquisition, and
uncertainties that have not been identified at this time. Further factors
concerning financial risks and results are contained in the Registrant's Annual
Report on Form 10-K and other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission. Such statements are made pursuant to the "safe harbor"
provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
identify important risk factors that could cause the Registrant's actual results
to differ materially from those expressed in any projected, estimated or
forward-looking statements relating to the Registrant.
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in the press release
referred to above are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be
no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by the
Registrant will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will
have the expected consequences to, or effects on, the Registrant or its business
or operations. The Registrant assumes no obligation to, and does not undertake
to, update publicly any such forward-looking statements.
