ADVISORY: This press release contains forward looking statements which may include statements concerning completion of any proposed acquisitions, capital programs, debt, funds flow from operations, closing date of the offering and the anticipated use of the net proceeds of the offering. Although Epsilon believes that the expectations reflected in these forward looking statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on them because Epsilon can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties.

Accordingly, there is a risk that any proposed acquisition or offering will not be completed within the anticipated time or at all.
