about revenues (including as expressed by its backlog), its liquidity,
the outcome of litigation and legal proceedings and recoveries from

forward-looking statements by their nature involve a degree of risk and
uncertainty. The Company cautions that a variety of factors, including
but not limited to the factors described in the Company’s most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission on February 27, 2014, and the following, could cause
the Company’s business conditions and results to differ materially from
what is contained in forward-looking statements: the timing and success
of the proposed offer and acquisition of the Company by AMEC plc, the
risk that the Company’s business will be adversely impacted during the
pending proposed offer and acquisition of the Company by AMEC plc,
benefits, effects or results of the Company’s redomestication to
Switzerland, deterioration in global economic conditions, changes in
investment by the oil and gas, oil refining, chemical/petrochemical and
power generation industries, changes in the financial condition of its
customers, changes in regulatory environments, changes in project design
or schedules, contract cancellations, the changes in estimates made by
the Company of costs to complete projects, changes in trade, monetary
and fiscal policies worldwide, compliance with laws and regulations
relating to the Company’s global operations, currency fluctuations, war,
terrorist attacks and/or natural disasters affecting facilities either
owned by the Company or where equipment or services are or may be
provided by the Company, interruptions to shipping lanes or other
methods of transit, outcomes of pending and future litigation, including
litigation regarding the Company’s liability for damages and insurance
coverage for asbestos exposure, protection and validity of the Company’s
patents and other intellectual property rights, increasing global
competition, compliance with its debt covenants, recoverability of
claims against the Company’s customers and others by the Company and
claims by third parties against the Company, and changes in estimates
used in its critical accounting policies. Other factors and assumptions
not identified above were also involved in the formation of these
forward-looking statements and the failure of such other assumptions to
be realized, as well as other factors, may also cause actual results to
differ materially from those projected. Most of these factors are
difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond the Company’s
control. You should consider the areas of risk described above in
connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made by the
Company. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any
