Forward-looking statements

The annual- and interim reports and stock exchange announcements referred to above contain certain forward-looking statements reflecting the management’s present judgment of future events and financial results. Statements relating to 2008 and subsequent years are naturally subject to uncertainty, and NORDEN's actual results may therefore differ from the projections. Factors that may cause such variance include, but are not limited to, changes in macro- economic and political conditions, particularly in the Company’s principal markets; changes to the Company’s rate assumptions and operating costs; volatility in rates and tonnage prices; regulatory changes; any disruptions to traffic and operations as a result of external events etc. The reports and announcements should not be interpreted as a recommendation to trade shares in Dampskibsselskabet “NORDEN” A/S.
