This presentation includes “forward - looking statements.” Black Ridge’s and AEI/WPT’s actual results may differ from its expectat ions, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events.

These forward - looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ mater ially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside Black Ridge’s and AEI/WPT’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the outcome of any legal proceedings against AEI/WPT or Black Ridge; (2) the inability to complete the business combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Black Ridge or other co ndi tions to closing; (3) delays in obtaining, adverse conditions contained in, or the inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals or complete regulator reviews required to complete the business combinatio n; (4) the risk that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transaction described therein and herein; (6) the ability to recognize t he anticipated benefits of the business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relations hip s with suppliers and obtain adequate supply of products and retain its key employees; (7) costs related to the proposed business combination; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (9) the pos sib ility that the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and (10) other risks and uncertainties to be indicated from time to time in Black Ridge ’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Black Ridge and AEI/WPT believe that the presentation of non - GAAP measurement s provides information that is useful to investors as it indicates more clearly the ability of AEI/WPT to meet capital expenditures and working capital requirements and otherwise meet its obligation as the y b ecome due. However, this should not be construed to replace GAAP figures.
