the use of proceeds therefrom. The forward-looking statements contained in this
press release speak only as of the date of this press release and are expressly
qualified by this cautionary statement. These forward-looking statements are
based on certain key assumptions regarding, among other things, the value of the

that could cause actual events or outcomes to differ materially from those
anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include,
but are not limited to general economic conditions in Canada and the United
States, industry conditions, changes in laws and regulations and changes in how
they are interpreted and enforced, increased competition, volatility of
commodity prices, and the inability satisfy the closing conditions, including
receipt of regulatory approval. Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used
in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the
time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, undue reliance
should not be placed on forward-looking statements. Enseco's actual results,
performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or
implied by, these forward-looking statements, or if any of them do so, what
benefits that Enseco will derive therefrom. Enseco disclaims any intention or
obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by
