DISCLAIMER
This document contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current views about future events. The words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” ”can,” “could,” “plan,” “project,” “should” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements.
These statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including an adverse development of global economic conditions, in particular a decline of
demand in our most important markets; a deterioration of our refinancing possibilities on the credit and financial markets; events of force majeure
including natural disasters, pandemics, acts of terrorism, political unrest, armed conflicts, industrial accidents and their effects on our sales, purchasing,
production or financial services activities; changes in currency exchange rates, customs and foreign trade provisions; a shift in consumer preferences
towards smaller, lower-margin vehicles; a possible lack of acceptance of our products or services which limits our ability to achieve prices and
adequately utilize our production capacities; price increases for fuel or raw materials; disruption of production due to shortages of materials, labor
strikes or supplier insolvencies; a decline in resale prices of used vehicles; the effective implementation of cost-reduction and efficiency-optimization
measures; the business outlook for companies in which we hold a significant equity interest; the successful implementation of strategic cooperations
and joint ventures; changes in laws, regulations and government policies, particularly those relating to vehicle emissions, fuel economy and safety; the
resolution of pending government investigations or of investigations requested by governments and the conclusion of pending or threatened future legal
proceedings; and other risks and uncertainties, some of which are described under the heading “Risk and Opportunity Report” in the current Annual
Report. If any of these risks and uncertainties materializes or if the assumptions underlying any of our forward-looking statements prove to be incorrect,
the actual results may be materially different from those we express or imply by such statements. We do not intend or assume any obligation to update
these forward-looking statements since they are based solely on the circumstances at the date of publication.
