CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements in this communication, including statements relating to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of January 4, 2019, by and among the Company, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Athena Merger Subsidiary, Inc., and Emmaus (the “Merger Agreement”), the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement including but not limited to the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the combined company’s future financial condition, performance and operating results, strategy and plans are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 giving MYnd’s and Emmaus’ expectations or predictions of future financial or business performance or conditions. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties which change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and MYnd and Emmaus assume no duty to update forward-looking statements.

 

 

 

 

In addition to factors previously disclosed in MYnd’s and Emmaus’ reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and those identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements and historical performance: the ability to obtain NasdaqCM listing approval and meet other closing conditions to the Merger, including requisite approval by MYnd’s and Emmaus’ stockholders on a timely basis or at all; delay in closing the Merger; the ability to effect the proposed spin-off; adverse tax consequences to shareholders of the proposed spin-off; disruption following the Merger; the availability and access, in general, of funds to fund operations and necessary capital expenditures.

 

Other risks and uncertainties are more fully described in MYnd’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, and Emmaus’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, each filed with the SEC, and in other filings that MYnd or Emmaus makes and will make with the SEC in connection with the proposed transactions, including the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus described herein under “Important Additional Information About the Transaction Will be Filed with the SEC.” Existing and prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits attached hereto speak only as of the date stated herein, and subsequent events and developments may cause MYnd’s or Emmaus’ expectations and beliefs to change. While MYnd or Emmaus may elect to update these forward-looking statements publicly at some point in the future, each of MYnd and Emmaus specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing MYnd’s or Emmaus’ views as of any date after the date stated herein.
