as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which relate to future events or

Roadrunner’s expectation that its 2017 Adjusted EBITDA will exceed the reported amount for its 2016 Adjusted

of words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,”
“believe,” “intend,” “predict,” “potential,” “opportunity,” and similar words or phrases or the negatives of these words or
phrases. These forward-looking statements are based on Roadrunner’s current assumptions, expectations and beliefs
and are subject to substantial risks, estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and changes in circumstances that may
cause Roadrunner’s actual results, performance or achievements, to differ materially from those expressed or implied in
any forward-looking statement. Such factors include, among others, risks related to the restatement of Roadrunner’s
previously issued financial statements, the remediation of Roadrunner’s identified material weaknesses in its internal
control over financial reporting, the litigation resulting from the restatement of Roadrunner’s previously issued financial
statements and the other risk factors contained in Roadrunner’s SEC filings, including Roadrunner’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Because the risks, estimates, assumptions and uncertainties
referred to above could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-
looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking
statement speaks only as of the date hereof, and, except as required by law, Roadrunner assumes no obligation and
