Forward - Looking Statements. Certain statements in this Financial Update may be considered forward - looking statements. Forward - lo oking statements generally relate to future events or CCH’s or the Company’s future financial or operating performance. For example, projections of future Adjusted Net Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and oth er metrics are forward - looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward - looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “predict” , “ potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward - looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ mat erially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. These forward - looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by CCH and its manag ement, and Utz and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence o f a ny event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of negotiations and any subsequent definitive agreements with respect to the Business Combination; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against CCH, 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 Combinati on due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of CCH, to obtain financing to complete the Business Combination or to satisfy other conditions to closing; (4) changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combina tio n 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 the NYSE’s listing standards following the co nsummation of the Business Combination; (6) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Utz as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (7) the ability to rec ognize 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 cu sto mers and suppliers 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 Utz or the combined company may be adve rse ly affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (11) Utz’s estimates of expenses and profitability; and (12) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary No te Regarding Forward - Looking Statements” in CCH’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Nothing in this Financial Update should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward - looking statements set fo rth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward - looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward - looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are ma de. Neither CCH nor the Company undertakes any duty to update these forward - looking statements. Non - GAAP Financial Information. In this Financial Update, CCH and the Company may refer to certain non - GAAP financial measures, including Pro Forma Net Sales, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Further Adjusted EBITDA, among others. Please refer to footnotes where presented on each page of this Financial Update or to the appendix found at the end o f t his Financial Update for a reconciliation of these measures to what the Company believes are the most directly comparable measure evaluated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). This Fin ancial Update also includes certain projections of non - GAAP financial measures. Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projec ted measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP fina nci al measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward - looking non - GAAP financial measures is included. Use of Projections. This Financial Update contains financial forecasts of the Company. Neither the Company’s independent audi tor s, nor the independent registered public accounting firm of CCH, audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Financial Update, and acc ord ingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Financial Update. These projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of futu re results. This Financial Update may contain trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of other companies, which are the pro per ty of their respective owners. Solely for convenience, some of the trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights referred to in this Financial Update may be listed without the TM, SM, ©, ® or ™ symbols, but Coll ier Creek and Utz will assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, the right of the applicable owners, if any, to these trademarks, service mark, trade names and copyrights.
