Forward Looking Information
Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the Filing Statement, any information released or received with respect to the Transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in the securities of a capital pool company should be considered highly speculative.
The information in this press release includes certain information and statements about management’s view of future events, expectations, plans and prospects that constitute forward looking statements, including statements with respect to the completion of the Transaction and the Qualifying Transaction, resumption of trading in the TCAP Shares, the Anticipated Closing Date and the anticipated Name Change.
Such statements and information reflect the current view of the Company. Risks and uncertainties exist that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated or implied in the forward-looking statements and information. Such factors include, among others: the risk that required approvals and the satisfaction of material conditions are not obtained in connection with the Transaction and the Name Change; the risk that the Transaction is not approved or completed by the Anticipated Closing Date or on the terms set out in the definitive agreement; reliance on key management; disruptions or changes in the credit or security markets; risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic; unanticipated costs and expenses; and general market and industry conditions.
The forward-looking statements, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently based upon assumptions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, assumptions that all conditions to the closing of the Transaction and to the completion of the Name Change will be satisfied, the Transaction will be completed by the Anticipated Closing Date and on the terms set forth in the definitive agreement and the Company will be able to carry out its business plan as contemplated. Although TCAP and the Optionor believe that the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable, they can give no assurances that the expectations of any forward-looking statements will prove to be correct.
The forward-looking information contained in this press release represents the expectations of the Company as of the date of this press release and, accordingly, is subject to change after such date. Readers should not place undue importance on forward looking information and should not rely upon this information as of any other date.
