Forward-Looking Statements

The information in this Current Report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this Current Report, regarding the proposed business combination, the Company’s ability to consummate the business combination, the benefits of the transaction and the Company’s future financial performance following the business combination, as well as the Company’s strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues, and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward looking statements. When used in this Current Report, including any oral statements made in connection therewith, the words “could,” “should,” “will,” “may,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” the negative of such terms and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Company disclaims any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Current Report. The Company cautions you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company, incident to the development, production, fathering and sale of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. In addition, the Company cautions you that the forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report are subject to the following factors: (i) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could delay the business combination or give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreements; (ii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company following announcement of the business combination; (iii) the inability to complete the business combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of the Company, or other conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreements; (iv) the risk that the proposed business combination disrupts current plans and operations of the Company as a result of the announcement and consummation of the business combination; (v) the Company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably following the business combination; (vi) costs related to the business combination; (vii) changes in applicable laws or regulations; and (viii) the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this Current Report, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning these and other factors that may impact the operations and projections discussed herein can be found in its periodic filings the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The Company’s SEC filings are available publicly on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
