IMPORTANT NOTICES

 

China VantagePoint Acquisition Corporation (“Parent” or the “Company”) and its directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting of the Company’s shareholders to be held to approve the proposed acquisition discussed in the section titled “Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement” below. The Company’s officers and directors have no rights to any liquidation distribution the Company makes with respect to the subunits sold in its initial public offering (“IPO”). Therefore, their equity holding will have no value if the Company does not acquire a target business within twenty four months of the IPO as required by the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles and Memorandum of Association, unless an extension to such time is approved by its shareholders. Shareholders of the Company and other interested persons are advised to read the Company’s proxy statement, when available, in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for the special meeting because this proxy statement will contain important information.

 

The proxy statement will be mailed to shareholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the proposed acquisition. Shareholders will also be able to obtain a copy of the proxy statement without charge from the Company. The proxy statement, once available, may also be obtained without charge at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s internet site at www.sec.gov.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibits contained herein, contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Other than statements of historical facts, all statements included in this report regarding Black Diamond Holdings, LLC (“Black Diamond”) or any of Black Diamond’s subsidiaries or portfolio companies (together with Black Diamond, the “acquisition parties”) strategy, future operations, future financial position, prospects, plans and objectives of management, as well as statements, other than statements of historical facts, regarding Black Diamond’s industry, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. The Company and Black Diamond may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements, and investors should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements made by the acquisition parties.
