Business Wire
Octel Corp. (NYSE: OTL) today announced the appointment of Patrick
Williams as Executive Vice President and President, Petroleum
Specialties with effect from today's date. Mr. Williams has been
Chief Executive Officer of Octel Starreon since 1999. Octel
Starreon was a joint venture between Octel Corp. and Starreon LLC
for the sale of fuel additives. Octel Starreon became wholly owned
by Octel Corp. in July 2004. Mr. Williams, a U.S. citizen, joined
Starreon in 1993 and was responsible for developing a strong sales
function, which doubled sales within two years. He was instrumental
in the formation of the joint venture with Octel to form Octel
Starreon in 1999 and continued to drive sales and profitability
before playing a key role in the subsequent acquisition by Octel
Corp. of the joint venture. Since then, Mr. Williams has been the
CEO of Octel Starreon and the business has continued to deliver
strong growth and profit. Mr. Williams has a science degree and a
degree in industrial communication from the University of Colorado.
He will continue to be based in Denver. "We are delighted with the
appointment of Patrick," said Paul Jennings, President and CEO of
Octel Corp. "He has consistently delivered strong business
performance and is an excellent addition to the senior management
team of Octel." Octel Corp., a Delaware corporation, is a global
chemical company specializing in high performance fuel additives
and special and effect chemicals. The company's strategy is to
manage profitably and responsibly the decline in world demand for
its major product -- tetraethyl lead (TEL) in gasoline -- through
competitive differentiation and stringent product stewardship, to
expand its Petroleum Specialties and Performance Chemicals
businesses organically through product innovation and focus on
customer needs, and to seek synergistic growth opportunities
through joint venture, alliances, collaborative arrangements and
acquisitions. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT RELATIVE TO FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS Certain written and oral statements made by our Company
and subsidiaries or with the approval of an authorized executive
officer of our Company, including statements made in filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, may constitute
"forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, the words "believe,"
"expect," "intend," "estimate," "project," "will" and similar
expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally
are not historical in nature. All statements which address
operating performance, events or developments that we expect or
anticipate will occur in the future -- including statements
relating to volume growth, share of sales or earnings per share
growth, and statements expressing general optimism about future
operating results -- are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from our Company's historical experience and our present
expectations or projections. As and when made, management believes
that these forward-looking statements are reasonable. However,
caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements since such statements speak only as of
the date when made. Although we believe that our expectations are
based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge
of our business and operations, there can be no assurance that
actual results will not differ materially from our expectations.
Among the risk factors which could cause actual results to differ
materially from expectations are the risks and uncertainties
discussed in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2004 and those described from time to time in the
Company's other filings with the SEC. These include, without
limitation, the timing of orders received from customers, the gain
or loss of significant customers, the effects of changing
government regulations and economic and market conditions,
competition from other manufacturers and changes in the demand for
our products, including the rate of decline in demand for TEL, and
business and legal risks inherent in non-US activities, including
political and economic uncertainty, import and export limitations
and market risks related to changes in interest rates and foreign
exchange rates, successful completion of planned disposals, the
impact of changes in senior management, government investigations
and material fines or other penalties resulting from its voluntary
disclosure to OFAC, and the existence and impact of any
deficiencies or material weaknesses or remedial actions taken by
the Company in respect of a potential violation of the Code of
Ethics by the former Chief Executive Officer which may have
resulted in a potential violation of certain laws and regulations
by the former Chief Executive Officer and the Company, and
compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In
addition, increases in the cost of product, changes in the market
in general and significant changes in new product introduction
could result in actual results varying from expectations. Should
one or more of these risks materialize (or the consequences of such
developments worsen), or should the underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those
expected. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update
or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise.
