Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the documents incorporated by reference herein (this “Current Report”) contain certain “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “target,” “believe,” “expect,” “will,” “shall,” “may,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “would,” “positioned,” “future,” “forecast,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “outlook” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements made in this Current Report regarding the proposed transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the benefits of the Business Combination, integration plans, expected synergies and revenue opportunities, anticipated future financial and operating performance and results, including estimates for growth, the expected management and governance of the combined company, and the expected timing of the Business Combination. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on the Parent’s and the Company’s managements’ current beliefs, expectations and assumptions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: (a) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; (b) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Parent or the Company following the announcement of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (c) the inability to complete the proposed Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of the Parent or members of the Company, certain regulatory approvals, or satisfy other conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement; (d) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement or could otherwise cause the transaction to fail to close; (e) the failure to meet the minimum cash requirement of the Business Combination Agreement due to the Parent shareholder redemptions and the failure to obtain replacement financing; (f) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the Parent’s ordinary shares on Nasdaq following the proposed Business Combination; (g) the risk that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed Business Combination; (h) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably, and retain its key employees; (i) costs related to the proposed Business Combination; (j) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (k) the possibility that the Parent or the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (l) risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Pubco; (m) risks related to the organic and inorganic growth of the Company’s business and the timing of expected business milestones; (n) the amount of redemption requests made by the Parent’s shareholders; and (o) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Prospectus that includes a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and when available, a definitive proxy statement and final prospectus relating to the proposed Business Combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in the Parent’s other filings with the SEC. The Parent cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. The Parent and the Company caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Parent and the Company do not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in their expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law. Neither the Company nor the Parent gives any assurance that either the Company or the Parent, or the combined company, will achieve its expectations.
