REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
release contains certain forward-looking statements (as such term is defined
in
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) concerning
future events and our operations, performance and financial condition,
including, in particular, the likelihood of our success in developing and
expanding our business. Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend
upon or refer to future events or conditions, or that include words such as
“expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,”
“projects,” “forecasts,” “will,” “may,” “potential,” “should,” and similar
expressions are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements
reflect management’s current views only as of the date of this presentation and
are not intended to give any assurance as to future results. As a result, you
are cautioned not to rely on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements appear in a number of places in this release. Although these
statements are based upon assumptions we believe to be reasonable based upon
available information, including operating margins, earnings, cash flow, working
capital and capital expenditures, they are subject to risks and uncertainties.
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: future operating
or financial results; our expectations relating to dividend payments and
forecasts of our ability to make such payments; pending acquisitions, business
strategy and expected capital spending; operating expenses, availability of
crew, number of off-hire days, drydocking requirements and insurance costs;
general market conditions and shipping market trends, including charter rates
and factors affecting supply and demand; our financial condition and liquidity,
including our ability to obtain additional financing in the future to fund
capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate activities;
estimated future capital expenditures needed to preserve our capital base;
our
expectations about the availability of ships to purchase, the time that it
may
take to construct new ships, or the useful lives of our ships; our continued
ability to enter into long-term, fixed-rate time charters with our customers;
our ability to leverage to our advantage Seaspan Management Services Limited’s
relationships and reputation in the containership industry; changes in
governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities;
changes in worldwide container demand; changes in trading patterns; competitive
factors in the markets in which we operate; potential inability to implement
our
growth strategy; potential for early termination of long-term contracts and
our
potential inability to renew or replace long-term contracts; ability of our
customers to make charter payments; potential liability from future
litigation;
conditions in the public equity markets; and other factors detailed from time
to
time in our periodic reports. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update
or
revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether because of future
events, new information, a change in our views or expectations, or otherwise.

subordinated shares.
