the businesses will not be integrated successfully; (v) disruption from the Merger making it more difficult to maintain business and
operational relationships, including with customers, vendors, service providers and other business counterparties, and the Company’s

Company’s management’s attention from ongoing business operations; (vii) negative effects of the announcement or the consummation
of the Merger on the market price of the Company common stock and on the Company’s operating results; (viii) the risk of litigation,
including stockholder litigation, and/or regulatory actions, including any conditions, limitations or restrictions placed on approvals

statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an
exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors
are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
This communication should be read with the understanding
that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify
