Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On August 6, 2008, Primus Guaranty, Ltd. (“Primus Guaranty”) issued a press release announcing
operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. A copy of the press release is furnished as
Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report. This exhibit shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes
of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and shall not be incorporated by
reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Statements in the press release referred to above that are not historical facts are
forward-looking and based on management’s projections, assumptions and estimates; actual results
may vary materially. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties,
which include but are not limited to: fluctuations in the economic, credit, interest rate or
foreign currency environment in the United States and abroad; the level of activity within the
national and international credit and capital markets; the level of activity in the leveraged
buyout and private equity markets; competitive conditions and pricing levels; changes in rating
agency requirements or methodology; counterparty limits and risks; legislative and regulatory
developments; technological developments; changes in tax laws; changes in national or international
political or economic conditions, including any terrorist attacks, and uncertainties that have not
been identified at this time. Further factors concerning financial risks and results
are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Such statements are made pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and identify important risk factors that could
cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any projected, estimated or
forward-looking statements relating to Primus Guaranty.
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in the press release referred to
above are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual
results or developments anticipated by Primus Guaranty will be realized or, even if substantially
realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, Primus Guaranty or its
business or operations. Primus Guaranty assumes no obligation to update publicly any such
forward-looking statements.
