Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” “project,” “anticipate,” “will likely result” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this press release, including those regarding the terms of the Company’s proposed business combination with the Target, the Company’s ability to consummate the proposed transaction on the stated timeline, the Target’s use of proceeds from the proposed transaction, the benefits of the transaction, anticipated timing of the proposed business combination, and the combined company’s future performance relative to other similar companies, the combined company’s strategy, operations, growth plans and objectives of management, the growth of the Target’s business sector, the Target’s market expansion, and the combined company’s future products and services are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of the respective management of the Company and the Target and are not predictions of actual performance.

 

These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company or the Target. Potential risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination, including the risk that any regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed business combination or that the approval of the stockholders of the Company or the Target is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; risk relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to the Target; the amount of redemption requests made by the Company’s stockholders and the impact of such requests on the cash needs of the combined company; the overall level of consumer demand for the Target’s products and services; general economic conditions and other factors affecting consumer confidence, preferences, and behavior; disruption and volatility in the global currency, capital, and credit markets; the ability to maintain the listing of the Company’s securities on NASDAQ; the Target’s ability to implement its business strategy; changes in governmental regulation, the Target’s exposure to litigation, claims, and other loss contingencies; disruptions and other impacts to the Target’s business; stability of the Target’s suppliers, as well as consumer demand for its products and services; the impact that global climate change trends may have on the Target and its suppliers and customers; the Target’s ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel to deliver their services; any breaches of, or interruptions in, the Target’s information systems; fluctuations in foreign currency; changes in tax laws and liabilities, tariffs, legal, regulatory, political and economic risks. The foregoing list of potential risks and uncertainties is not exhaustive. More information on potential factors that could affect the Company’s or the Target’s financial results is included from time to time in the Company’s public reports filed with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K as well as the other documents the Company has filed, or will file, with the SEC, including a proxy statements that the Company intends to file with the SEC in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for the meeting of shareholders to be held to approve, among other things, the proposed business combination. If any of these risks materialize or the Company’s or the Target’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither the Company nor the Target presently know, or that the Company and the Target currently believe are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s and the Target’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. Neither the Company nor the Target gives assurance that either the Company or the Target, or the combined company, will achieve its expectations. The Company and the Target anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause their assessments to change. However, while the Company and the Target may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company and the Target specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, except as required by law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s or the Target’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
