differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside our control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the ability to meet the closing conditions in
the Business Combination Agreement, including due to failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of CHP and Accelus or certain regulatory approvals, or failure to satisfy other conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement;
(2) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances, including the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against CHP and Accelus following the announcement of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions

combined companys common stock on the Nasdaq, as applicable, following the Business Combination; (4) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the

and retain its key employees; (6) costs related to the Business Combination; (7) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (8) the inability of the combined company to raise financing in the future; (9) the success, cost, and
timing of Acceluss and the combined companys product development activities; (10) the inability of Accelus or the combined company to obtain and maintain regulatory approval for their products, and any related restrictions and

company to maintain Acceluss existing license, manufacturing, supply, and distribution agreements; (13) the inability of Accelus or the combined company to compete with other companies currently marketing or engaged in the development of
treatments for the indications that Accelus is currently pursuing for its product candidates; (14) the size and growth potential of the markets for Acceluss and the combined companys products and services, and each of their ability
