Cautionary
Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Certain
statements in this press release may be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor”
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “target,”
“believe,” “expect,” “will,” “shall,” “may,” “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“would,” “positioned,” “future,” “forecast,” “intend,” “plan,”
“project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical
matters. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements made in this press release regarding the proposed transactions
contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, integration plans, expected synergies and revenue opportunities, anticipated future
financial and operating performance and results, including estimates for growth, the expected management and governance of the combined
company and the expected timing of the business combination. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of
future performance. Instead, they are based only on the Company and OMG managements’ current beliefs, expectations and assumptions.
Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances
that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those
indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors
that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among
others, the following: (1) the occurrence of any event that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement;
(2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company, OMG, the combined company, or others following the
announcement of the business combination; (3) the inability to complete the business combination, including due to the failure to obtain
approval of the Company’s stockholders or to satisfy other conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement; (4) the
amount of redemption requests made by the Company’s stockholders; (5) changes to the proposed structure of the business combination
that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws; (6) the ability to meet Nasdaq listing standards following the consummation
of the business combination; (7) the risk that the business combination disrupts current plans and operations of OMG as a result of the
announcement and consummation of the business combination; (8) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination,
which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably,
maintain relationships with third parties and partners and retain its management and key employees; (9) costs related to the business
combination; (10) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (11) the possibility that OMG or the combined company may be adversely affected
by other economic, business, regulatory, and/or competitive factors; (12) the availability of capital to support future operations and
OMG estimates of expenses; (13) changes in the assumptions underlying OMG’s expectations regarding its future business or business
model; and (14) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the Registration Statement filed with the SEC in connection with the business
combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and other documents filed or to be filed from time to time with
the SEC by the Company.
A
further list and description of risks and uncertainties can be found in the Company’s Form 10-K and in the Registration Statement
filed with the SEC by the Company in connection with the proposed transaction, and other documents that the parties may file or furnish
with the SEC, which you are encouraged to read. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release is based only on information
currently available to the Company and OMG and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The Company and OMG undertake no obligation
to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of
new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law. Forecasts and estimates regarding OMG’s industry
and end markets are based on sources the Company and OMG believe to be reliable, however there can be no assurance these forecasts and
estimates will prove accurate in whole or in part. Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purposes
only, are not forecasts and do not reflect actual results.
