La combinazione delle tecnologie di De Nora e thyssenkrupp nucera con la nostra capacità di produzione di componenti AWE può svolgere, e sta già svolgendo, un ruolo chiave nel processo di transizione verso un’energia sostenibile. Una potenziale IPO di thyssenkrupp nucera è un passo strategico per sostenere ulteriormente la crescita prevista e accrescere la nostra posizione di leader tecnologico."

The information herein contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact included herein are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give tk nucera's current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections relating to its financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business as well as the industries in which tk nucera operates, as well as the beliefs and assumptions of tk nucera's management. In particular, certain statements with regard to management objectives, trends in results of operations, margins, costs, return on equity, risk management and competition tend to be forward-looking in nature. These statements may include, without limitation, any statements preceded by, followed by or including words such as “target,” “believe,” “expect,” “aim,” “intend,” “goal,” “may,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “seek,” “will,” “can have,” “likely,” “should,” “would,” “could” and other words and terms of similar meaning or the negative thereof. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors beyond the tk nucera's, De Nora’s and thyssenkrupp AG’s control that could cause tk nucera's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the expected results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding the tk nucera's present and future business strategies and the environment in which it will operate in the future. Therefore, tk nucera's actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees of future performance. De Nora, thyssenkrupp AG and tk nucera therefore caution against relying on any of these forward-looking statements.
