Forward-Looking Statements

Mueller’s 2022 ESG Report contains certain statements that may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements that address activities, events or developments that the Company intends, expects, plans, projects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding goals, outlooks, projections, forecasts, expectations, commitments, trend descriptions and the ability to capitalize on trends, long-term strategies and the execution or acceleration thereof, including sustainability focus areas, targets, expectations, estimates and the development of future technologies. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and assessments made by the Company in light of the Company’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments.
