Forward Looking Statements

This press release (the “Press Release”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, made by, or respecting, SPAR Group. Forward-looking statements include information concerning the acquisition of SPAR Group by Highwire Capital (the “Acquisition”). “Forward-looking statements” are defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and other applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations, as amended.

All statements (other than those that are purely historical) are forward-looking statements. Words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “plan,” “project,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements made by SPAR Group in this Press Release may include (without limitation) statements regarding: risks, uncertainties, cautions, circumstances and other factors (“Risks”). Those Risks include (without limitation): the impact of the news of the Acquisition or developments in it; the uncertainty of satisfaction of closing conditions respecting the Acquisition; the impact of SPAR Group’s continued strategic review process, or any resulting action or inaction, should the Acquisition not occur; the impact of selling certain of SPAR Group’s subsidiaries or any resulting impact on revenues, earnings or cash; the impact of adding new directors or new finance team members; the potential negative effects of any stock repurchase and/or payment; the potential continuing negative effects of the COVID pandemic on SPAR Group’s business; SPAR Group’s potential non-compliance with applicable Nasdaq director independence, bid price or other rules; SPAR Group’s cash flow or financial condition; and plans, intentions, expectations, guidance or other information respecting the pursuit or achievement of SPAR Group’s corporate objectives.

You should carefully review and consider SPAR Group’s forward-looking statements (including Risks and other cautions and uncertainties) and other information made, contained or noted in or incorporated by reference into this Press Release, but you should not place undue reliance on any of them. The results, actions, levels of activity, performance, achievements or condition of SPAR Group (including its affiliates, assets, business, clients, capital, cash flow, credit, expenses, financial condition, foreign exchange, income, liabilities, liquidity, locations, marketing, operations, performance, prospects, revenues, sales, strategies, taxation or other achievement, results, Risks, trends or condition) and other events and circumstances planned, intended, anticipated, estimated or otherwise expected by SPAR Group (collectively, “Expectations”), and our forward-looking statements (including all Risks) and other information reflect SPAR Group’s current views about future events and circumstances. Although SPAR Group believes those Expectations and views are reasonable, the results, actions, levels of activity, performance, achievements or condition of SPAR Group or other events and circumstances may differ materially from our Expectations and views, and they cannot be assured or guaranteed by SPAR Group, since they are subject to Risks and other assumptions, changes in circumstances and unpredictable events (many of which are beyond SPAR Group’s control). In addition, new Risks arise from time to time, and it is impossible for SPAR Group to predict these matters or how they may arise or affect SPAR Group. Accordingly, SPAR Group cannot assure you that its Expectations will be achieved in whole or in part, that it has identified all potential Risks, or that it can successfully avoid or mitigate such Risks in whole or in part, any of which could be significant and materially adverse to SPAR Group and the value of your investment in SPAR Group’s common stock.

These forward-looking statements reflect SPAR Group’s Expectations, views, Risks and assumptions only as of the date of this Press Release, and SPAR Group does not intend, assume any obligation, or promise to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements (including any Risks or Expectations) or other information (in whole or in part), whether as a result of new information, new or worsening Risks or uncertainties, changed circumstances, future events, recognition, or otherwise.
