The words "believe", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "project", "scheduled", and similar expressions, as well as future or conditional verbs such as "will", "should", "would", and "could" often identify forward-looking statements. In particular, forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to: the closing of the Transaction on the terms and timing set out herein or at all, and the payment of the termination fee to the Parent in certain circumstances or at all. Such statements or information are only predictions and reflect the current beliefs of management with respect to future events and are based on information currently available to management.
