These statements include statements about Stepan Company&#x2019;s plans, objectives, strategies, financial performance and outlook, trends, the amount and timing of future cash distributions, prospects or future events and involve known and unknown risks that are difficult to predict. As a result, Stepan Company&#x2019;s actual financial results, performance, achievements or prospects may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as &#x201c;may,&#x201d; &#x201c;could,&#x201d; &#x201c;expect,&#x201d; &#x201c;intend,&#x201d; &#x201c;plan,&#x201d; &#x201c;seek,&#x201d; &#x201c;anticipate,&#x201d; &#x201c;believe,&#x201d; &#x201c;estimate,&#x201d; &#x201c;guidance,&#x201d; &#x201c;predict,&#x201d; &#x201c;potential,&#x201d; &#x201c;continue,&#x201d; &#x201c;likely,&#x201d; &#x201c;will,&#x201d; &#x201c;would,&#x201d; &#x201c;should,&#x201d; &#x201c;illustrative&#x201d; and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Stepan Company and its management based on their knowledge and understanding of the business and industry, are inherently uncertain. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and stockholders should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.</font></p>
