CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In order to utilize the "Safe Harbor" provisions of the United States Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act"), Marconi plc ( the
"Company") is providing the following cautionary statement. Except for
historical information contained herein, statements contained in this Report on
Form 6-K may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Reform Act. The words "believe", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "estimate",
"plan", "assume", "positioned", "will", "may", "risk" and other similar
expressions which are predictions of or indicate future events and future trends
which do not relate to historical matters identify forward-looking statements.
Reliance should not be placed on such statements because they involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are in some cases beyond
the control of the Company, together with its subsidiaries (the "Group"), and
may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Group to differ
materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements (and from past results,
performance or achievement). Certain factors that may cause such differences
include but are not limited to the following: (1) any major disruption in
production at our key facilities; (2) changes in the environmental, tax and
other laws and regulations, which, among other things, could cause us to incur
substantial additional capital expenditures and operation and maintenance costs;
and (3) adverse changes in the markets for our products, including as a result
of increased competition in the highly competitive international markets for
such products. These and other risks, uncertainties and factors are discussed in
the Company's Registration Statement on Form F-1 and other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Form 6-K. Shareholders and
prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements which speak only as to the Company's judgment as of
the date hereof. Any such forward-looking statements are not intended to give
any assurance as to future results. The Company undertakes no obligation to
publicly update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether to
reflect new information or future events or circumstances or otherwise.
