This communication includes certain statements that may
constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal
securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to, statements that refer to projections, forecasts or
other characterizations of future events or circumstances,

“believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,”
“may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,”
“project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify
forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not
mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking
statements may include, for example, statements about the parties’
ability to effect the business combination and related financing
transactions and the benefits of the business combination. These
forward-looking statements are based on information available as of
the date of this press release, and current expectations, forecasts
and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and
uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not
be relied upon as representing the parties’ views as of any
subsequent date, and Boxwood and Atlas do not undertake any
obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events
or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be
required under applicable securities laws. You should not place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. As a result of
a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, actual
results or performance may be materially different from those
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some
factors that could cause actual results to differ 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 unit
purchase agreement entered into in connection with the business
combination (the “transaction agreement”); (2) the outcome of any
legal proceedings that may be instituted against Boxwood or Atlas
relating to the proposed business combination and related
transactions or the definitive proxy statement; (3) the inability
to complete the transactions contemplated by the transaction
agreement due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders
of Boxwood or satisfy other conditions to the closing of the
business combination and the inability to complete the transactions
contemplated by the agreement between Atlas and Long Engineering,
Inc. (“Long Engineering”) due to the failure to satisfy the
conditions to the closing of such transactions; (4) the ability to
obtain or maintain the listing of Boxwood’s shares of Class A
common stock and warrants on Nasdaq following the business
combination; (5) the risk that the business combination disrupts
the parties’ current plans and operations as a result of the
announcement and consummation of the transactions described herein;

profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and
retain management and key employees; (7) costs related to the
business combination and the acquisition of Long Engineering; (8)
changes in applicable laws or regulations; (9) the possibility that
