meaning of Canadian securities legislation (collectively,
“forward-looking statements”). These forward-looking statements
include or relate to but are not limited to, among other things,
the anticipated closing date of the Arrangement, and may also
include other statements that are predictive in nature, or that
depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and can
generally be identified by words such as “may,” “will,” “expects,”

statements.
Although Points believes the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, such statements are not guarantees of
future performance and are subject to important risks and
uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Certain material
assumptions or estimates are applied in making forward- looking
statements, and actual results may differ materially from those
expressed or implied in such statements. Undue reliance should not
be placed on such statements. In particular, uncertainty around the
duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the

hospitality industry may have a significant and materially adverse
impact on our business. In addition, the risks, uncertainties and
other factors that may impact the results expressed or implied in
such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
the possibility that the Arrangement will not be completed on the
terms and conditions, or on the timing, currently contemplated, and
that it may not be completed at all, due to a failure to obtain or
satisfy, in a timely manner or otherwise, conditions of closing
necessary to complete the Arrangement or for other reasons; failure
to complete the Arrangement could negatively impact the price of
the common shares or otherwise affect the business of Points; the
Purchaser’s ability to complete the anticipated debt and equity
financing as contemplated by applicable commitment letters or to
otherwise secure terms for alternative financing at least as
favourable as the debt and equity financing contemplated by the
applicable commitment letters; significant transaction costs or
unknown liabilities; the failure to realize the expected benefits
of the Arrangement; risks related to tax matters; the possibility
of adverse reactions or changes in business relationships resulting
from the announcement or completion of the Arrangement; risks
relating to Points’ ability to retain and attract key personnel
during the interim period; certain of Points’ directors and

from those of Points’ shareholders; credit, market, currency,
operational, liquidity and funding risks generally and relating
specifically to the Arrangement, including changes in economic
conditions, interest rates or tax rates; business, operational and
financial risks and uncertainties relating to the COVID-19
pandemic; Points and the Purchaser may be subject to legal claims,
securities class actions, derivative lawsuits and other claims; and
other risks inherent to the business carried out by Points and/or
factors beyond its control which could have a material adverse
effect on Points or its ability to complete the Arrangement. These
and other important risk factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially are discussed in Points’ annual information form,
Form 40-F, annual and interim management’s discussion and analysis,
