Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and any oral statements made
regarding the subject of this release contain forward-looking
statements as defined under Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of
historical facts, that address activities that Laredo assumes,
plans, expects, believes, intends, projects, indicates, enables,
transforms, estimates or anticipates (and other similar
expressions) will, should or may occur in the future, are
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are
based on management’s current belief, based on currently available
information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. The
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties,
including, among others, that our business plans may change as
circumstances warrant and that the new notes may not ultimately be
offered to the public and the existing notes may not be purchased
because of general market conditions or other factors. General
risks relating to Laredo include, but are not limited to, the
decline in prices of oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas and
the related impact to financial statements as a result of asset
impairments and revisions to reserve estimates, the increase in
service and supply costs, tariffs on steel, pipeline transportation
constraints in the Permian Basin, hedging activities, possible
impacts of litigation and regulations, the suspension or
discontinuance of share repurchases at any time and other factors,
including those and other risks described in its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the prospectus
supplement and those set forth from time to time in other filings
with the SEC. These documents are available through the SEC’s
Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval System (“EDGAR”)
at www.sec.gov. Any of these factors could cause Laredo’s actual
results and plans to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements. Therefore, Laredo can give no assurance
that its future results will be as estimated. Laredo does not
intend to, and disclaims any obligation to, update or revise any
forward-looking statement.
