a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those suggested by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the outcome of any legal proceedings that may
be brought against Enhanced or A Paradise following the announcement of the transactions described herein; the inability to complete the
transactions described herein; the valuation of Enhanced in connection with the business combination, which was determined through negotiations
among affiliated parties and may not represent a market-based valuation; Enhanced’s unproven business model, limited operating history,
and minimal revenue to date; the success of the inaugural 2026 Enhanced Games and subsequent events; audience, sponsor and media demand
for performance-enhanced competition and related products; the availability of financing and proceeds from the private placement financing

property position, including the ability to maintain and protect intellectual property; the need to hire additional personnel and ability
to attract and retain such personnel; the ability to recruit and retain athletes, coaches and partners; its ability to obtain additional
capital and establish, grow and maintain cash flow or obtain additional and adequate financing; the effects of any future indebtedness
on Enhanced’s liquidity and its ability to operate the business; its expectations concerning relationships with third parties and
partners; the impact of laws and regulations and its ability to comply with such laws and regulations including laws and regulations relating
to consumer protection, advertising, tax, data privacy, and anti-corruption; any changes in certain rules and practices of U.S. and Non-U.S.

the International Weightlifting Federation and other sport governing bodies; its expectations regarding the period during which Enhanced
will qualify as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act; the increased expenses associated with being a public company; and Enhanced’s
anticipated use of its existing resources and proceeds from the transactions described herein. There may be other risks not presently
known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could also cause actual results to differ materially. Analysis and opinions
contained in this Current Report may be based on assumptions that, if altered, can change the analysis or opinions expressed. In light
of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this Current Report, the inclusion of such forward-looking
