Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this report are not historical facts, but are
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied
by words such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate,"
"intend," "expect," "should," "would," "plan," "future," "outlook," and similar
expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not
statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean
that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of
other performance metrics and projections of market opportunity. These
statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this
report and on the current expectations of the Company's, Pubco's and Lexasure's
respective management 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 by any investor 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, Pubco and Lexasure. Some important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any
forward-looking statements could include, without limitation, changes in
business, market, financial, political and legal conditions.
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties, including, without limitation, the inability of the parties to
successfully or timely consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business
Combination Agreement (collectively, the "Transaction"); the failure to realize
the anticipated benefits of the Transaction; the ability of the Company prior to
the Transaction, and Pubco following completion of the Transaction, to maintain
(in the case of the Company) and to obtain and maintain (in the case of Pubco)
the listing of the Company's shares prior to the Transaction, and, following the
Transaction, Pubco's shares, on the Nasdaq Capital Market; costs related to the
Transaction; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the
Transaction, including the approval of the Business Combination Agreement by the
shareholders of the Company, the risk that the Transaction may not be completed
by the stated deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the
stated deadline;; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted
against the Company, Pubco or Lexasure related to the Transaction; the
attraction and retention of qualified directors, officers, employees and key
personnel of the Company and Lexasure prior to the Transaction, and Pubco
following the Transaction; the ability of Pubco to compete effectively in a
highly competitive market; the ability to protect and enhance Lexasure's
corporate reputation and brand; the impact from future regulatory, judicial, and
legislative changes in Lexasure's industry; the uncertain effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic or other public health matters; competition from larger
companies that have greater resources, technology, relationships and/or
expertise; the future financial performance of Pubco following the Transaction,
including the ability of future revenues to meet projected annual projections;
the ability of Pubco to forecast and maintain an adequate rate of revenue growth
and appropriately plan its expenses; Lexasure's ability to execute its business
plans and strategy; and those factors set forth in documents of the Company or
Pubco filed, or to be filed, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC"). You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks
and uncertainties that will be described in the "Risk Factors" section of the
registration statement on Form F-4 and related proxy statement/prospectus and
other documents to be filed by the Company or Pubco from time to time with the
SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those
contained in the forward-looking statements. The foregoing list of risks is not
exhaustive.
