Cautionary Note Regarding "Forward-Looking Information"

This news release contains statements which constitute, or may be deemed to constitute, "forward-looking information" which are prospective in nature and reflect the current views and/or expectations of Imperial.

Such statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations.

Forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause Imperial's actual results, revenues, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the statements constituting forward-looking information.
