the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against
SBEA, the combined company or others following the announcement of
the business combination and any definitive agreements with respect
thereto; (3) the inability to complete the business combination due
to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of SBEA, to
obtain financing to complete the business combination or to satisfy
other conditions to closing; (4) changes to the proposed structure
of the business combination that may be required or appropriate as
a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to
obtaining regulatory approval of the business combination; (5) the
ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the
consummation of the business combination; (6) the risk that the
business combination disrupts current plans and operations of the
Company as a result of the announcement and consummation of the
business combination; (7) 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 key
relationships and retain its management and key employees; (8)
costs related to the business combination; (9) changes in
applicable laws or regulations; (10) the possibility that the
Company or the combined company may be adversely affected by other
economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (11) the Company’s
estimates of expenses and profitability; (12) the failure to
realize anticipated pro forma results or projections and underlying
assumptions, including with respect to estimated stockholder
redemptions, purchase price and other adjustments; and (13) other
risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk
Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”
in SBEA’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering
dated February 25, 2021, in the registration statement on Form S-4
(the “Form S-4”) relating to the business combination filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and in
subsequent filings with the SEC, including the final
prospectus/proxy statement relating to the business combination.
There may be additional risks that neither SBEA nor the Company
presently know or that SBEA and the Company currently believe are
immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from
those contained in the forward-looking statements.
Nothing in this press release should be regarded as a
representation by any person that the forward-looking statements
set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated
results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You
