Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements contained herein are based on reasonable assumptions,
there can be no assurance that such expectations will be achieved. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions
and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,”
“expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or other similar
expressions. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results of the
Company to differ materially from future results, performance or achievements projected or contemplated in the forward-looking statements.
Some of the factors that may affect outcomes and results include, but are not limited to: (i) risks associated with the Company’s
ability to obtain the stockholder approval required to consummate the merger and the timing of the closing of the merger, including the
risks that a condition to closing would not be satisfied within the expected timeframe or at all or that the closing of the merger will
not occur, (ii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties and others related to the merger agreement,
(iii) unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to the transaction, the response of business partners and competitors to the
announcement of the transaction, and/or potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the announcement and pendency of the
transaction, (iv) the possible failure of the Company to maintain its qualification as a REIT, and (v) those additional risks and factors
discussed in reports filed with the SEC by the Company from time to time, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors”
