      <u>Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements</u>
    </p>
    <p>
      This release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of
      the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including
      statements regarding our expectations about our ability to grow our
      technology offerings, digitize our business, and drive internal
      efficiencies as well as our expectations about creating value for our
      customers. These forward-looking statements are qualified in their
      entirety by cautionary statements and risk factor disclosures contained
      in the company&#8217;s Securities and Exchange Commission (&#8220;SEC&#8221;) filings,
      including the company&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on
      February 21, 2017. Actual results may differ materially from any
      forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties, including,
      but not limited to: our ability to effectively leverage technology and
      operating systems and realize anticipated benefits of digitizing our
      business, our ability to integrate and derive benefits from acquired
      businesses, our ability to capitalize on new market opportunities, the
      impact of quarterly fluctuations in results, the creditworthiness of our
      customers and counterparties and our ability to collect accounts
      receivable, fluctuations in world oil prices or foreign currency,
      changes in political, economic, regulatory, or environmental conditions,
      adverse conditions in the markets or industries in which we or our
      customers and suppliers operate, potential liabilities and the extent of
      any insurance coverage, the outcome of pending litigation and other
      proceedings, our failure to effectively hedge certain financial risks
      associated with the use of derivatives, non-performance by
      counterparties or customers on derivatives contracts, loss of, or
      reduced sales, to a significant government customer, uninsured losses,
      the impact of natural disasters, adverse results in legal disputes,
      unanticipated tax liabilities, our ability to retain and attract senior
      management and other key employees and other risks detailed from time to
      time in the company&#8217;s SEC filings. New risks emerge from time to time
      and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors
      or to assess the impact of such risks on our business. Accordingly, we
      undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
      statements, whether as a result of new information, changes in
      expectations, future events, or otherwise.
