•[t]he HCYC Management Projections are subject to the inherent uncertainties and
limitations that can affect long-term projected financial results, and particularly,

and new customers. Accordingly, the usefulness of the HCYC Management
Projections is limited and shareholders are strongly cautioned not to place undue
reliance, if any, on the HCYC Management Projections, and not to rely on these
projections in making any decision regarding the Business Combination."

purposes only and are not and should not be viewed as public guidance regarding
the future performance of HCYC."
