2 Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current estimates and projections of BASF management and currently available information. Future statements are not guarantees of the future developments and results outlined therein. These are dependent on a number of factors; they involve various risks and uncertainties; and they are based on assumptions that may not prove to be accurate. Such factors include those discussed in the Opportunities and Risks Report from pages 111 to 118 of the BASF Report We do not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation.
