SAFETY-KLEEN CLARIFICATION OF
JUNE 6, 2000 PRESS RELEASE
(Columbia, SC) - Safety-Kleen Corp. (NYSE:SK) today issued a
clarification to its press release of June 6, 2000 as follows.
Safety-Kleen's failure to make the interest and principal payments
referred to in the prior release is not related to any action or failure to act
on the part of the Frontier Insurance Company.
Moreover, Safety-Kleen has not defaulted on any closure or post closure
obligations at any of its facilities. Accordingly, no claims have been made
against closure and post closure bonds issued by Frontier Insurance Company on
behalf of Safety-Kleen Corp. Safety-Kleen's failure to make the payments
referred to in the June 6 release is not of a nature which could give rise to
liability under the Frontier Insurance Company bonds.
Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, sections of
this release constitute forward-looking statements that involve a number of
risks and uncertainties. Actual results and events may differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause
actual events and results to differ from those expected, including, but not
limited to the outcome of continuing negotiations with Safety-Kleen's lenders,
the availability of additional funding under credit facilities or from other
sources, and other items discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
