The Global Power Company
Safe Harbor Disclosure

    Certain statements in the following presentation regarding AES’s business operations may
    constitute “forward looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements include, but are
    not limited to, those related to future earnings, growth and financial and operating
    performance. Forward-looking statements are not intended to be a guarantee of future
    results, but instead constitute AES’s current expectations based on reasonable
    assumptions. Forecasted financial information is based on certain material assumptions.
    These assumptions include, but are not limited to continued normal or better levels of
    operating performance and electricity demand at our distribution companies and
    operational performance at our contract generation businesses consistent with historical
    levels, as well as achievements of planned productivity improvements and incremental
    growth from investments at investment levels and rates of return consistent with prior
    experience. For additional assumptions see the Appendix to this presentation. Actual
    results could differ materially from those projected in our forward-looking statements due to
    risks, uncertainties and other factors. Important factors that could affect actual results are
    discussed in AES’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not
    limited to the risks discussed under the caption “Cautionary Statements and Risk Factors”
    in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004,
    as well as our other SEC filings. AES undertakes no obligation to update or revise any
    forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
    otherwise.
