Foster Wheeler was one of 54 organizations worldwide presented
with a Sword of Honour, which award is widely recognized as the
pinnacle of safety achievement.
The winners have all been recognized by the British Safety
Council as having exemplary health and safety systems that are
among the best in the world. In order to compete for the Sword of
Honour, organizations must have achieved the maximum rating in the
British Safety Council’s five star health and safety management
system audit at specific locations. They must have also
demonstrated to an independent adjudication panel a culture of best
practice for health and safety throughout the business – from the
boardroom to the shop floor.
Lynda Armstrong OBE, British Safety Council chair, said: “My
warmest congratulations to this year’s winners. Your success in
winning the Sword of Honour is testimony to your organization’s and
your employees’ commitment to achieving and sustaining the highest
standards of health, safety and environmental management.”
“Working safely is Foster Wheeler’s commitment to our workforce
and clients and nothing is so urgent or important that it overrides
this commitment,” said Kent Masters, Chief Executive Officer,
Foster Wheeler AG. “We are very proud to receive independent
endorsement of our world-class safety programs and processes. This
latest award endorses and recognizes the hard work, dedication and
commitment by our staff, contractors and clients to work together
to realize our ‘zero harm’ safety vision.”
UK’s Prime Minister, David Cameron, said: “I am delighted to
send my congratulations to all of those organizations being
presented with an award by the British Safety Council. These awards
recognize the crucial success that these organizations and their
employees have achieved in their pursuit of excellence in the
management of health, safety and environmental matters at an
international level at a time of global challenge.”

Safe Harbor Statement
Foster Wheeler AG news releases may contain forward-looking
statements that are based on management’s assumptions, expectations
and projections about the Company and the various industries within
which the Company operates. These include statements regarding the
Company’s expectations about revenues (including as expressed by
its backlog), its liquidity, the outcome of litigation and legal
proceedings and recoveries from customers for claims and the costs
of current and future asbestos claims and the amount and timing of
related insurance recoveries. Such forward-looking statements by
their nature involve a degree of risk and uncertainty. The Company
cautions that a variety of factors, including but not limited to
the factors described in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on
Form 10-K, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission and the following, could cause the Company’s business
conditions and results to differ materially from what is contained
in forward-looking statements: benefits, effects or results of the
Company’s redomestication or the relocation of our principal
executive offices to Geneva, Switzerland; the benefits, effects or
results of our strategic renewal initiative; further deterioration
in global economic conditions, changes in investment by the oil and
gas, oil refining, chemical/petrochemical and power generation
industries, changes in the financial condition of its customers,
changes in regulatory environments, changes in project design or
schedules, contract cancellations, changes in estimates made by the
Company of costs to complete projects, changes in trade, monetary
and fiscal policies worldwide, compliance with laws and regulations
relating to its global operations, currency fluctuations, war,
terrorist attacks and/or natural disasters affecting facilities
either owned by the Company or where equipment or services are or
may be provided by the Company, interruptions to shipping lanes or
other methods of transit, outcomes of pending and future
litigation, including litigation regarding the Company’s liability
for damages and insurance coverage for asbestos exposure,
protection and validity of its patents and other intellectual
property rights, increasing global competition, compliance with its
debt covenants, recoverability of claims against its customers and
others by the Company and claims by third parties against the
Company, and changes in estimates used in its critical accounting
policies. Other factors and assumptions not identified above were
also involved in the formation of these forward-looking statements
and the failure of such other assumptions to be realized, as well
as other factors, may also cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected. Most of these factors are
difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond the
Company’s control. You should consider the areas of risk described
above in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be
made by the Company. The Company undertakes no obligation to
publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised,
