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” within the meaning of “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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” 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 (the “Merger”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among HHGC, Purchaser, Perfect Acquisitions Limited (“Merger Sub”), and PHGL, 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 Merger. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on HHGC and PHGL 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: (1) the occurrence of any event that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against HHGC, the combined company, or others following the announcement of the Merger and the Merger Agreement; (3) the inability to complete the Merger, including due to the failure to obtain approval of HHGC’s shareholders or to satisfy other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (4) the amount of redemption requests made by HHGC’s shareholders; (5) changes to the proposed structure of the Merger that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws; (6) the ability to meet Nasdaq listing standards following the consummation of the Merger; (7) the risk that the Merger disrupts current plans and operations of PHGL as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Merger; (8) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Merger, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with third parties and partners and retain its management and key employees; (9) costs related to the Merger; (10) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (11) the possibility that PHGL or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, regulatory, and/or competitive factors; (12) the availability of capital and PHGL estimates of expenses; (13) changes in the assumptions underlying PHGL’s expectations regarding its future business or business model; and (14) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the Registration Statement to be filed by HHGC with the SEC in connection with the Merger, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and other documents filed or to be filed from time to time with the SEC by HHGC.

A further list and description of risks and uncertainties can be found in the Form 10-K and in the Registration Statement that will be filed with the SEC by HHGC in connection with the proposed transaction, and other documents that the parties may file or furnish with the SEC, which you are encouraged to read. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Current Report is based only on information currently available to HHGC and PHGL and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. HHGC and PHGL undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.
