Forward-Looking Statements
The
information in this Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements, other than statements of present or historical
fact included herein, regarding the proposed Merger between Brigham and the Company, the likelihood that the conditions to the consummation
of the Merger will be satisfied on a timely basis or at all, Brigham’s and the Company’s ability to consummate the Merger
at any time or at all, the benefits of the Merger and the post-combination company’s future financial performance following the
Merger, as well as the post-combination company’s strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues, and losses,
projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward looking statements. When used herein, including any oral statements
made in connection herewith, the words “may,” “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “project” and similar expressions and the negative of such words and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying
words. These forward-looking statements are based on Brigham’s and the Company’s management’s current expectations and
assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. Such statements
may be influenced by factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those projected. Except as otherwise
required by applicable law, Brigham and the Company disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly
qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof. Brigham and the Company caution
you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and
many of which are beyond the control of Brigham and the Company. These risks include, but are not limited to, the post-combination company’s
ability to successfully integrate Brigham’s and the Company’s businesses and technologies; the risk that the expected benefits
and synergies of the Merger may not be fully achieved in a timely manner, or at all; the risk that Brigham or the Company will not, or
that following the Merger, the combined company will not, be able to retain and hire key personnel; the risk associated with Brigham’s
and the Company’s ability to obtain the approvals of their respective shareholders required to consummate the Merger and the timing
of the closing of the Merger, including the risk that the conditions to the transaction are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all
or the failure of the transaction to close for any other reason or to close on the anticipated terms, including the anticipated tax treatment;
the risk that any regulatory approval, consent or authorization that may be required for the Merger is not obtained or is obtained subject
to conditions that are not anticipated; unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to the transaction, the response of business
partners and retention as a result of the announcement and
pendency
of the transaction; the Company’s ability to finance the combined company (including the repayment of certain of Brigham’s
indebtedness) on acceptable terms or at all; uncertainty as to the long-term value of the combined company’s common stock; and the
diversion of Brigham’s and the Company’s management’s time on transaction-related matters. Should one or more of the
risks or uncertainties described herein and in any oral statements made in connection therewith occur, or should underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results and plans could different materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Additional
information concerning these and other factors that may impact Brigham’s and the Company’s expectations and projections can
be found in Brigham’s periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including Brigham’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports
