Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of federal securities laws, with respect to the offering of common units and the use of proceeds therefrom. These forward-looking statements contain words such as "will," "may," and "expect," are not guarantees of future performance, and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the Partnership's control and are difficult to predict. These statements are often based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including examination of historical operating trends made by the management of the Partnership. Although the Partnership believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond its control, the Partnership cannot give assurance that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or intentions. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements contained in the Partnership's filings with the SEC, including the Partnership's annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, available on the Partnership's website at www.valeroenergypartners.com. These risks could cause the Partnership's actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
