statements relating to our plans to separate into two independent
public companies. Forward-looking statements are subject to a
number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to materially differ from those described in the forward-looking

fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the
risk that the acquisition of Federal-Mogul or the separation may
not advance Tenneco's business strategy; the risk that Tenneco may
experience difficulty integrating all employees or operations; the
potential diversion of Tenneco management's attention resulting
from the separation; as well as the risk factors and cautionary
statements included in Tenneco's periodic and current reports
(Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K) filed from time to time with the SEC.
Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place
