DISCLAIMER This presentation may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of Colony Capital, Inc. (the “Company” or “Colony Capital”) and may cause the Company’s actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Factors that might cause such a difference include, without limitation, the Company’s ability to build the leading digital real estate provider and funding source for the occupancy, infrastructure, equity and credit needs of the world’s mobile communications and data-driven companies, the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy, including the Company’s digital and legacy businesses, the Company’s ability to continue driving strong growth in its digital business and accelerating its digital transformation, whether the pending acquisition of zColo by DataBank will be consummated within the timeframe anticipated or at all, whether the Company will realize the anticipated benefits of its DataBank investment, including the pending zColo acquisition, DataBank’s performance and the impact of the transaction on the diversity and stability of its portfolio, whether anticipated synergies and business optimization initiatives in the pending zColo transaction will enhance the Company’s economics for the transaction, the resilience and growth in demand for digital infrastructure, including datacenters, the Company’s ability to continue deploying capital into high quality digital investments, the Company ability to consummate anticipated co-investments in the zColo transaction, the Company’s Fee-Earning Equity Under Management (“FEEUM”) and its ability to continue FEEUM growth at the current pace or at all, whether Colony Capital will be able to maintain its qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the timing of and ability to deploy available capital, including whether any redeployment of capital will generate higher total returns, Colony Capital’s leverage, including the Company’s ability to reduce debt and the timing and amount of borrowings under its credit facility, increased interest rates and operating costs, adverse economic or real estate developments in Colony Capital’s markets, customer base expansion, including the maintenance of key customer relationships, the failure to successfully operate or lease acquired properties, decreased rental rates, increased vacancy rates or failure to renew or replace expiring leases, increased costs of capital expenditures, defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants, adverse general and local economic conditions, an unfavorable capital market environment, and other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, each under the heading “Risk Factors,” as such factors may be updated from time to time in our subsequent periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All forward-looking statements reflect Colony Capital’s good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, but they are not guarantees of future performance. Additional information about these and other factors can be found in Colony Capital’s reports filed from time to time with the SEC. Colony Capital cautions investors not to unduly rely on any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. Colony Capital is under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this presentation, nor to conform prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, and Colony Capital does not intend to do so.
