Some uncertainties or other imponderables that might influence Deutsche Telekom’s ability to achieve its objectives, are described in the “Risk and opportunities management” section of the combined management report and in the “Disclaimer” at the end of the Annual Report. Should these or other uncertainties and imponderables materialize, or the assumptions underlying any of these statements prove incorrect, the actual results may be materially different from those expressed or implied by such statements. We do not guarantee that our forward-looking statements will prove correct.
