Forward-Looking Statements

This announcement may contain “forward-looking” statements as defined under U.S. securities laws.

The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “may,” “plan,” “estimate,” “intend,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” and the negatives of these words and other similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements.

It is possible OI Glass’s future financial performance may differ from expectations due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the general political, economic and competitive conditions in markets and countries where OI Glass has operations, including uncertainties related to economic and social conditions, disruptions in the supply chain, competitive pricing pressures, inflation or deflation, changes in tax rates and laws, war, civil disturbance or acts of terrorism, natural disasters, and weather; (2) cost and availability of raw materials, labor, energy and transportation (including impacts related to the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine and disruptions in supply of raw materials caused by transportation delays); (3) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the various governmental, industry and consumer actions related thereto; (4) competitive pressures, consumer preferences for alternative forms of packaging or consolidation among competitors and customers; (5) OI Glass’s ability to improve its glass melting technology, known as the modular advanced glass manufacturing asset (“MAGMA”) program, and implement it within the timeframe expected; (6) unanticipated operational disruptions, including higher capital spending; (7) the failure of OI Glass’s joint venture partners to meet their obligations or commit additional capital to the joint venture; (8) OI Glass’s ability to manage its cost structure, including its success in implementing restructuring or other plans aimed at improving OI Glass’s operating efficiency and working capital management, and achieving cost savings; (9) OI Glass’s ability to acquire or divest businesses, acquire and expand plants, integrate operations of acquired businesses and achieve expected benefits from acquisitions, divestitures or expansions; (10) OI Glass’s ability to generate sufficient future cash flows to ensure OI Glass’s goodwill is not impaired; (11) OI Glass’s ability to achieve its strategic plan; (12) unanticipated expenditures with respect to data privacy, environmental, safety and health laws; (13) the ability of OI Glass and the third parties on which it relies for information technology system support to prevent and detect security breaches related to cybersecurity and data privacy; (14) changes in capital availability or cost, including interest rate fluctuations and the ability of OI Glass to refinance debt on favorable terms; (15) foreign currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar; (16) changes in tax laws or U.S. trade policies; (17) risks related to recycling and recycled content laws and regulations; (18) risks related to climate-change and air emissions, including related laws or regulations and increased Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) scrutiny and changing expectations from stakeholders; and (19) the other risk factors under “Risk factors” in OI Glass’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and any subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors.
