Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, other than statements of historical facts, may constitute forward-looking statements, for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the proposed transaction between the Company and Patrick, including future financial and operating results (including the anticipated impact of the transaction on the Company’s and Patrick’s respective earnings), statements related to the expected timing of the completion of the transaction, the combined company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, and other statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements may be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “targets,” “scheduled,” “plans,” “intends,” “goal,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “forecasts,” “outlook,” “estimates,” “potential,” or “continue” or negatives of such terms or other comparable terminology, but not all forward-looking statements include such identifying terminology.
All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company or Patrick to differ materially from any results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, (1) the risk that the cost savings and any revenue synergies from the transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer than anticipated to be realized, (2) disruption to each party’s business as a result of the announcement and pendency of the transaction, (3) the risk that the integration of each party’s operations will be materially delayed or will be more costly or difficult than expected or that the parties are otherwise unable to successfully integrate as a result of unexpected factors or events, (4) the failure to obtain the necessary approvals by the stockholders of the Company or Patrick, (5) the ability by each of the Company and Patrick to obtain required governmental approvals of the transaction on the timeline expected, or at all, and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the transaction, (6) reputational risk and the reaction of each party’s customers, suppliers, employees or other business partners to the transaction, (7) the failure of the closing conditions in the merger agreement to be satisfied, or any unexpected delay in closing the transaction or the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement, (8) the possibility that the transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events, (9)
risks related to management and oversight of the expanded business and operations of the combined company due to the increased size and complexity, (10) the possibility of increased scrutiny by, and/or additional regulatory requirements of, governmental authorities as a result of the transaction or the size, scope and complexity of the combined company’s business operations, (11) the outcome of any legal or regulatory proceedings that may be currently pending or later instituted against the Company, Patrick or the combined company before or after the transaction, and (12) general competitive, economic, political and market conditions and other factors that may affect future results of the Company and Patrick. Additional factors which could affect future results of the Company and Patrick can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026, under the captions “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” and the Company’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, and Patrick’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on February 19, 2026, under the captions “Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” and Patrick’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, in each case filed with the SEC and available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. The Company and Patrick disclaim any obligation and do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this communication, which speak only as of the date hereof, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by federal securities laws.
