Forward-Looking Statements Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This presentation may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, and may cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Among others, the following uncertainties and other factors could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward looking statements: the failure to receive, on a timely basis or otherwise, the required approvals by NorthStar Asset Management Group Inc. (“NSAM”), Colony Capital, Inc. (“Colony”) and NorthStar Realty Finance Corp. (“NRF”) stockholders, governmental or regulatory agencies and third parties; the risk that a condition to closing of the merger may not be satisfied; each company’s ability to consummate the merger; operating costs and business disruption may be greater than expected; the ability of each company to retain its senior executives and maintain relationships with business partners pending consummation of the merger; the ability to realize substantial efficiencies and synergies as well as anticipated strategic and financial benefits; and the impact of legislative, regulatory and competitive changes. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Additional information about these and other factors can be found in each company’s reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including each company’s most recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There can be no assurance that the merger will in fact be consummated. None of NSAM, Colony, NRF or any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. We caution investors not to unduly rely on any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. None of NSAM, Colony or NRF is under any duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this presentation, nor to conform prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, and none of NSAM, Colony or NRF intends to do so.
