The words believe, expect, anticipate, plan, intend, estimate, project, foresee, should, would, could, or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this presentation specifically include expectations of plans, strategies, objectives, and anticipated financial and operating results of AMGP, the Partnership and Antero Resources Corporation ( Antero Resources ). These statements are based on certain assumptions made by the AMGP, the Partnership and Antero Resources based on management s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of AMGP or the Partnership, as applicable, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. These include the factors discussed or referenced under the heading Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and in the Partnership s subsequent filings with the SEC, as well as the factors discussed under Risk Factors in AMGP s final prospectus dated May 3, 2017 and filed with the SEC on May 5, 2017. AMGP and the Partnership caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause these statements to be inaccurate, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, Antero Resources expected future growth, Antero Resources ability to meet its drilling and development plan, commodity price volatility, inflation, environmental risks, drilling and completion and other operating risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital, the timing of development expenditures, and the other risks discussed or referenced under the heading Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Partnership s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and in the Partnership s subsequent filings with the SEC. The Partnership s ability to make future distributions is substantially dependent upon the development and drilling plan of Antero Resources, which itself is substantially dependent upon the review and approval by the board of directors of Antero Resources of its capital budget on an annual basis. In connection with the review and approval of the annual capital budget by the board of directors of Antero Resources, the board of directors will take into consideration many factors, including expected commodity prices and the existing contractual obligations and capital resources and liquidity of Antero Resources at the time. In addition, AMGP s ability to make future distributions is substantially dependent on the Partnership s business, financial conditions and the ability to make distributions. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and neither AMGP or the Partnership undertakes any obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
