Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the documents incorporated by reference herein (this “Current Report”) contain certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “target,” “believe,” “expect,” “will,” “shall,” “may,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “would,” “positioned,” “future,” “forecast,” “intend,” “plan,” “project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements made in this Current Report regarding the Business Combination (as defined below) contemplated by the share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) among HSAC, Immunovant, Roivant Sciences Ltd., and the stockholders of HSAC (the “Business Combination”), including the anticipated initial enterprise value and post-closing equity value, the benefits of the Business Combination, integration plans, expected synergies and revenue opportunities, anticipated future financial and operating performance and results, including estimates for growth, the expected management and governance of the combined company, and the expected timing of the Business Combination. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on HSAC and Immunovant managements’ current beliefs, expectations and assumptions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: (1) the occurrence of any event that could give rise to the termination of the Share Exchange Agreement; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against HSAC, the combined company, or others following the announcement of the Business Combination and the Share Exchange Agreement; (3) the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of HSAC’s stockholders or to satisfy other conditions to closing in the Share Exchange Agreement; (4) changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws; (5) the ability to meet the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; (6) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Immunovant as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (7) the ability to recognize the 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 relationships with third parties and partners, obtain adequate supply of raw materials and retain its management and key employees; (8) costs related to the Business Combination; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the possibility that Immunovant or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, regulatory, and/or competitive factors; (11) Immunovant’s estimates of expenses; (12) the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates fluctuations on the results of Immunovant or the combined company; and (13) other risks and uncertainties indicated in the Preliminary Proxy Statement and the definitive proxy statement to be filed by HSAC with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and other documents filed or to be filed from time to time with the SEC by HSAC.
