FLS contained or referred to in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the completion of the Arrangement, the timing of such completion and the timing of the voluntary de-listing of the Subordinate Voting Shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such FLS are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on FLS because the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.
