In
connection with the proposed transaction between HF and Atlantic, Atlantic filed a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A

which was mailed to each stockholder entitled to vote at the special meeting relating to the transaction. INVESTORS AND SECURITY

This
current report on Form 8-K contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act
of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements
that are not historical facts, including statements about the pending transaction between Atlantic and HF and the transactions
contemplated thereby, and the parties’ perspectives and expectations, are forward looking statements. Such statements include,
but are not limited to, statements regarding the proposed transaction, including the anticipated initial enterprise value and
post-closing equity value, the benefits of the proposed transaction, integration plans, expected synergies and revenue opportunities,
anticipated future financial and operating performance and results, including estimates for growth, the expected management and
governance of the combined company, and the expected timing of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement between Atlantic
and HF dated March 28, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”). The words “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,”
“intend,” “plan” and similar expressions indicate forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements
are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to various risks and uncertainties, assumptions (including assumptions
about general economic, market, industry and operational factors), known or unknown, which could cause the actual results to vary
materially from those indicated or anticipated.
Such
risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) risks related to the expected timing and likelihood of completion
of the pending transaction, including the risk that the transaction may not close due to one or more closing conditions to the
transaction not being satisfied or waived, such as regulatory approvals not being obtained, on a timely basis or otherwise, or
that a governmental entity prohibited, delayed or refused to grant approval for the consummation of the transaction or required
certain conditions, limitations or restrictions in connection with such approvals, or that the required approval of the Merger
Agreement by the stockholders of Atlantic was not obtained; (ii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that
could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (iii) the risk that there may be a material adverse change with respect
to the financial position, performance, operations or prospects of HF or Atlantic; (iv) risks related to disruption of management
time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed transaction; (v) the risk that any announcements relating to the proposed
transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of Atlantic’s common stock; (vi) the risk that the proposed transaction
and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of HF to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and
maintain relationships with their suppliers and customers and on their operating results and businesses generally; (vii) risks
related to successfully integrating the companies, which may result in the combined company not operating as effectively and efficiently
as expected; and (viii) risks associated with the financing of the proposed transaction.
A
further list and description of risks and uncertainties can be found in Atlantic’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC, in Atlantic’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC subsequent
thereto and in the Definitive Proxy Statement, and other documents that the parties may file or furnish with the SEC, which you
are encouraged to read. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly,
you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate only to the
date they were made, and Atlantic, HF, and their subsidiaries undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to
reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made except as required by law or applicable regulation.
