In relation to any Information accessible in this section of the website please note any statement of responsibility contained therein.
The Information included in this section of the website issued or published by CWC speaks only at the specified date of the relevant announcement or document and CWC has, and accepts, no responsibility or duty to update or revise such Information (other than to the extent such duty arises as a matter of law or regulation).
In relation to any announcements or other Information issued or published by Liberty Global, or information which relate to Liberty Global and the Liberty Global Group, that are accessible on this website, the only responsibility accepted by CWC and its directors is for the correctness and fairness of its reproduction.
Neither the directors of CWC, nor CWC, nor any member of the CWC Group (as defined below) nor any of their affiliated companies, have reviewed, and no such person is or shall be responsible for or accepts any liability in respect of, any information contained on any other website which may be linked to or from this section of the website.
Forward-looking statements
This section of the website and the Information contained in it may contain “forward-looking statements” with respect to certain of the plans of CWC and its group (being CWC and its subsidiaries and subsidiary undertakings, together the “CWC Group”)) and the CWC Group’s current goals and expectations relating to its future financial condition, performance, results, strategic initiatives and objectives. Generally, words such as “may”, “could”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “aim”, “outlook”, “believe”, “plan”, “seek”, “continue” or similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. By their nature, all forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances which are beyond the control of the CWC Group, including, amongst other things: local and global economic and business conditions; market-related risks such as fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates; the policies and actions of regulatory authorities; the impact of competition, inflation and deflation; the timing impact and other uncertainties of future acquisitions, disposals or combinations within relevant industries (including uncertainties relating to the execution of the Proposal); as well as the impact of tax and other legislation or regulations in the jurisdictions in which the CWC Group and its affiliates operate. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements are set out in the most recent annual reports and accounts of CWC.
As a result, the CWC Group’s actual future financial condition, performance and results may differ materially from the plans, goals and expectations set forth in the CWC Group’s forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements only speak as of the date on which they are made, and the events discussed herein may not occur. The CWC Group undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, save in respect of any requirement under applicable law or regulation.
Nothing in this section of the website, nor the Information contained in it, should be construed as a profit forecast, nor should any statements be interpreted to mean that earnings or earnings per share will necessarily be greater or lesser than those for the relevant preceding financial periods for CWC.
In addition, past performance is no guide to future performance, and persons needing advice should consult an independent financial adviser.
