ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Libbey desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is filing this
form 8-K in order to do so.
Libbey wishes to caution readers that the following important factors,
among others, could affect Libbey's actual results and could cause
Libbey's actual consolidated results to differ materially from those
expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of,
Libbey.
Important factors potentially affecting performance include
devaluations and other major currency fluctuations relative to the U.S.
dollar, the inability to achieve re-engineering related savings and
profit improvements at targeted levels, or within the intended time
periods, inability to achieve target efficiencies at Syracuse China,
significant increases in interest rates and the per unit costs of
natural gas, corrugated packaging, and other purchased materials, major
slowdowns in the retail, travel or entertainment industries, whether
the Company completes any significant acquisition, and whether such
acquisitions can operate profitably.
