Celanese is required to file an annual report on Form 20-F with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC maintains
a website (www.sec.gov) that contains these reports and other
information filed electronically.
Forward-looking statements:
Any statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements as defined in the U.S. Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “believe”, “estimate”, “anticipate”,
“intend”, “may”, “will”, “expect”, and “project”
and similar expressions as they
relate to Celanese or its management are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements in this report
are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from expectations. Important factors include, among others, changes
in general economic, business and political conditions, fluctuating exchange rates,
the length and depth of product and industry business cycles, changes in the price and
availability of raw materials, actions taken by competitors, application of new or
changed accounting standards or other government agency regulations, changes in the
degree of patent and other legal protection afforded to Celanese’s products, potential
disruption or interruption of production due to accidents or other unforeseen events,
delays in the construction of facilities, potential liability for remedial actions under
existing or future environmental regulations and potential liability resulting from
pending or future litigation, and other factors both referenced and not referenced
in this report. Many of the factors are macroeconomic in nature and are therefore
beyond the control of management. The factors that could affect Celanese’s future financial
results are discussed more fully in its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC), including its annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC
in March, 2003. Celanese does not assume any obligation to update these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of their dates.
