Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Information
This press release contains forward-looking
information. Such forward-looking information or statements
(“FLS”) are provided for the purpose of providing
information about management's current expectations and plans
relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such
information may not be appropriate for other purposes. FLS
contained or referred to in this press release include, but are not
limited to, statements regarding the receipt and timing of final
approval of the Arrangement from the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice and the timing for the closing of the Arrangement. Although
the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such FLS
are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on FLS because
the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove
to be correct.
FLS are based on a number of factors and
assumptions which have been used to develop such statements and
information, but which may prove to be incorrect, including
assumptions as to the ability of the parties to receive, in a
timely manner and on satisfactory terms, final approval of the
Arrangement from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and other
expectations and assumptions concerning the Arrangement. The
anticipated date indicated may change for a number of reasons.
Accordingly, investors and others are cautioned that undue reliance
should not be placed on any FLS.
Risks and uncertainties inherent in the nature
of the Arrangement that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those described in such FLS include, but are not
limited to, the failure of the parties to obtain the necessary
approval of the Ontario Court of Justice; failure of the parties to
obtain such approval in a timely manner; the possibility of adverse
reactions or changes in business relationships resulting from the
completion of the Arrangement; the possibility of litigation
relating to the Arrangement; credit, market, currency, operational,
liquidity and funding risks generally and relating specifically to
the Arrangement; significant Arrangement costs or unknown
liabilities; the failure to realize the expected benefits of the
Arrangement; and general economic conditions; as well as the
identified risk factors included in the Company’s public
disclosure, including the annual information form dated March 29,
2022, which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the
Company’s website at www.faxcapitalcorp.com. Failure to obtain the
necessary approval of the Ontario Court of Justice, or the failure
of the parties to otherwise satisfy the conditions to the
completion of the Arrangement or to complete the Arrangement, may
result in the Arrangement not being completed on the proposed
terms, or at all. In addition, if the Arrangement is not completed,
and the Company continues as an independent entity, there are risks
that the announcement of the Arrangement and the dedication of
substantial resources of the Company to the completion of the
Arrangement could have an impact on its business, operating results
and activities in general. The FLS in this press release reflect
the current expectations, assumptions, judgements and/or beliefs of
the Company based on information currently available to the
Company, and are subject to change without notice. Consequently,
the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on the FLS
contained in this press release.
Any FLS speaks only as of the date on which it
is made and, except as may be required by applicable securities
laws, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any
FLS, whether as a result of new information, future events or
results or otherwise. The FLS contained in this press release are
expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. For more
information on the Company, please review the Company's continuous
