NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference in this press release may constitute forward-
looking information within the meaning of securities laws. Forward-looking information may relate to
Cogeco Cable’s future outlook and anticipated events, business, operations, financial performance,
financial condition or results and, in some cases, can be identified by terminology such as “may”, “will”,
“should”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, “continue”,
“foresee”, “ensure” or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In
particular, statements regarding Cogeco Cable’s future operating results and economic performance and
its objectives and strategies are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain
factors and assumptions including expected growth, results of operations, performance and business
prospects and opportunities which Cogeco Cable believes are reasonable as of the current date. While
management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to
Cogeco Cable, they may prove to be incorrect. Cogeco Cable cautions the reader that the economic
downturn experienced over the past two years make forward-looking information and the underlying
assumptions subject to greater uncertainty and that, consequently, they may not materialize, or the
results may significantly differ from Cogeco Cable's expectations. It is impossible for Cogeco Cable to
predict with certainty the impact that this economic environment may have on future results. Forward-
looking information is also subject to certain factors, including risks and uncertainties, that could cause
actual results to differ materially from what Cogeco Cable currently expects. These factors include
technological changes, changes in market and competition, governmental or regulatory developments,
general economic conditions, the development of new products and services, the enhancement of
existing products and services, and the introduction of competing products having technological or other
advantages, many of which are beyond Cogeco Cable's control. Therefore, future events and results may
vary significantly from what management currently foresees. For more exhaustive information on these
risks and uncertainties, prospective purchasers should refer to the risk factors described in the
management's discussion and analysis of Cogeco Cable for the year ended August 31, 2010. Prospective
purchasers should not place undue importance on forward-looking information and should not rely upon
this information as of any other date. While management may elect to, Cogeco Cable is under no
obligation and does not undertake to, update or alter this information at any particular time, except as
may be required by law.
