After the Registration Statement has been declared effective, PERAC will mail the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents to its shareholders as of the record date established for voting on the Business Combination. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES ARE URGED TO READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, AND ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO AND ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC BY PERAC OR HOLDCO WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT HERAMBA, PERAC, HOLDCO AND THE BUSINESS COMBINATION, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE PRO FORMA IMPLIED ENTERPRISE VALUE OF THE COMBINED COMPANY. Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of the Registration Statement, proxy statement/prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto and other related documents filed with the SEC by PERAC or Holdco (in each case, when available) through the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements included in this communication that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or events that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding market opportunity, Heramba’s acquisition of Kiepe Electric, and the consummation of the Business Combination and related transactions. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this communication, and on the current expectations of Heramba, PERAC and Holdco management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Heramba, PERAC and Holdco. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including (i) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; (ii) the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Business Combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company, the expected benefits of the Business Combination or that the approval of the shareholders of PERAC is not obtained, that redemptions by shareholders of PERAC reduce the funds in trust or available to the combined company following the Business Combination, any of the other conditions to closing are not satisfied or that events or other circumstances give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; (iii) changes to the structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals; (iv) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; (v) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Heramba as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (vi) failure to realize 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 customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (vii) costs related to the Business Combination; (viii) changes in applicable law or regulations; (ix) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Heramba, PERAC or Holdco; (x) the effects of competition on Heramba’s future business; (xi) the ability of PERAC, Heramba or Holdco to issue equity or equity-linked securities or obtain debt financing in connection with the Business Combination or in the future; (xii) the enforceability of Heramba’s intellectual property rights, including its copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade secrets, and the potential infringement on the intellectual property rights of others; and (xiii) those factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in PERAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on April 7, 2023, and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other documents filed, or to be filed, by PERAC and/or Holdco, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or the assumptions of Heramba, PERAC and Holdco management prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that none of Heramba, PERAC nor Holdco presently know or that Heramba, PERAC or Holdco currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Heramba’s, PERAC’s or Holdco’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this communication. Heramba, PERAC and Holdco anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause Heramba’s, PERAC’s or Holdco’s assessments to change. However, while Heramba, PERAC and Holdco may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Heramba, PERAC and Holdco specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. Nothing in this communication should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
