Forward Looking Statements

 

Certain statements made herein are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intends”, “plan”, “outlook”, “target”, and “project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, including statements about our beliefs and expectations and the financial and other projections contained herein and targets available to pursue selective accretive mergers and acquisitions. Such forward-looking statements with respect to revenues, earnings, performance, strategies, prospects and other aspects of the businesses of WL Ross, Nexeo and the combined company after completion of the proposed business combination are based on current expectations that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, actual results and performance may materially differ from results or performance expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger for the business combination (the “Merger Agreement”); (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against WL Ross, the combined company or others following announcement of the Merger Agreement and transactions contemplated therein; (3) the inability to complete the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of WL Ross, inability to complete the transactions prior to or to extend the date by which WL Ross is required to liquidate pursuant to its charter, or other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (4) the risk that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transactions described herein; (5) the ability of the combined company to meet its financial and strategic goals, due to, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitability, maintain relationships with suppliers and obtain adequate supply of products and retain its key employees; (6) costs related to the proposed business combination; (7) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (8) the possibility that the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, competitive factors, weather and/or commodity prices; and (9) other risks and uncertainties discussed in the preliminary proxy statement filed by WL Ross with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2016 concerning the proposed business combination, including those included in the section entitled “Risk Factors” therein, and other filings with the SEC by WL Ross or Nexeo. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and WL Ross and Nexeo undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
