Investor Presentaiton

Cautionary Statement Statements in this presentation include "forward-looking statements" about future events, circumstances and results within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation, including, without limitation, statements containing the words "may," "might," "will," "should," "could," "anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “predict," "project," "future", “potential," "intend,” “seek to," "plan," "assume," "believe," "target," "forecast," "goal," "objective," "continue" or the negative of such terms or other variations thereof and similar expressions, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the current expectations of management of Cleco Corporate Holdings LLC ("Cleco”). Although Cleco believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions (some of which may prove to be incorrect) and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results and events in future periods to differ materially from Cleco's expectations and those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements because of a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, all of which could have material adverse effects on future results, performance or achievements of Cleco. Therefore, forward-looking statements are not guarantees or assurances of future performance, and actual results could differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause results to differ materially from those described in the forward- looking statements are set forth in Cleco's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 under the headings "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," and Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and in subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Cleco or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these factors. The forward-looking statements represent Cleco's views as of the date on which such statements were made and Cleco undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changes in actual results, change in assumptions, or other factors affecting such statements.
