Although MasterBrand and American Woodmark, as applicable, believe that these statements are based on reasonable assumptions, they are subject to numerous factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those indicated or implied in such statements. These factors include a failure by either party or both parties to satisfy one or more of the closing conditions set forth in the merger agreement, including a failure to obtain any required regulatory or governmental approvals or a failure to obtain the required approvals of either American Woodmark’s shareholders or MasterBrand’s stockholders; the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that give rise to the termination of the merger agreement by either party or a delay in the closing of the transaction; potential litigation relating to the transaction; the effect of the proposed transaction on the ability of either party to retain customers, maintain relationships with suppliers and hire and retain key personnel; the effect of the proposed transaction and the announcement of the proposed transaction on the parties’ stock prices; disruptions in the ordinary course business of either party resulting from the transaction; the continued availability of capital and financing and any rating agency actions related to the transaction or otherwise; the risk that certain limitations in the merger agreement may impact either party’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; the diversion of the attention and time of management of either party from ordinary course business operations to the transaction and transaction-related issues; the impact of transaction and/or integration costs and any increases in such costs; the existence of unknown liabilities; the ability of MasterBrand to successfully integrate American Woodmark into its business and operations; and the risk that any anticipated economic benefits, cost savings or other synergies are not fully realized or take longer to realize than expected.
