Forward-looking statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that reflect ENTREC's current beliefs and that are based on information currently available to ENTREC. These statements require ENTREC to make assumptions it believes are reasonable but, as a result of such assumptions, such forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results and developments may differ materially from the results and developments discussed in the forward-looking statements as certain of these risks and uncertainties are beyond ENTREC's control.
Examples of such forward-looking statements in this press release relate to, but are not limited to, (i) ENTREC's belief the acquisition of GT's will position ENTREC as a leading heavy lift and heavy haul company in Northeast B.C. and Northwest Alberta and strongly position ENTREC to benefit from the expected future investments in LNG driven natural gas infrastructure spending.
Although ENTREC believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because ENTREC can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. ENTREC's and GT's ability to achieve growth as a combined entity is dependent on, but are not limited to, ENTREC's ability to achieve facility consolidations or the elimination of redundant administrative and operating costs, fluctuations in the demand for specialized crane and heavy haul transportation services in the areas ENTREC serves, political and economic conditions, industry competition, and ENTREC's ability to attract and retain both customers and key personnel. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are given as of the date hereof, and to not use such forward-looking statements for anything other than their intended purpose. ENTREC undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
