The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K has been “furnished” and shall
not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or otherwise subject to liability under that section. The information in this Current

Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in
such filing or document. The furnishing of the information in this Current Report is not intended
to, and does not, constitute a representation that such furnishing is required by Regulation FD or

This Current Report and other statements by the company contain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act with respect to, among other
items: projections and estimates of earnings, revenues, cost-savings, expenses, or other financial
items; statements of management’s plans, strategies and objectives for future operation, and
management’s expectations as to future performance and operations and the time by which objectives
will be achieved; statements concerning proposed new products and services; and statements
regarding future economic, industry or market conditions or performance. Forward-looking statements
are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,”
and similar expressions. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and
the company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement. If the
company does update any forward-looking statement, no inference should be drawn that the company
will make additional updates with respect to that statement or any other forward-looking
statements.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual
performance or results could differ materially from that anticipated by these forward-looking
statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by
these forward-looking statements include, among others: (i) the company’s success in implementing
its financial and operational initiatives, (ii) changes in domestic or international economic or
business conditions, including those affecting the rail industry (such as the impact of industry
competition, conditions, performance and consolidation); (iii) legislative or regulatory changes;
(iv) the inherent business risks associated with safety and security; and (v) the outcome of claims
and litigation involving or affecting the company.
Other important assumptions and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those in the forward-looking statements are specified in the company’s SEC reports, accessible
on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and the company’s website at www.csx.com.
