Caution About Forward-Looking Statements

 

This communication may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act, and section 21E of the Exchange Act that are based on beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to SPAC and FST. These forward-looking statements are based on SPAC’s and FST’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “target,” “seek” or the negative or plural of these words, or other similar expressions that are predictions or indicate future events or prospects, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including the anticipated signing of a definitive business combination agreement between the parties and the timing and the terms of such agreement, are also forward-looking statements. 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 or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict, are beyond the control of SPAC and FST, and will differ from assumptions. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, as set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in SPAC’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on April 19, 2023, and in the other documents that SPAC and/or FST have filed, or will file, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties above are not exhaustive, and there may be additional risks that neither SPAC nor FST presently know or that SPAC and FST currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. While SPAC and FST may elect to update these forward-looking statements, SPAC and FST specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, except as required by law.

No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act, or an exemption therefrom.
