Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1955. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, SensaSure’s and Verde’s expectations with respect to the proposed Merger, including statements regarding the benefits of the transaction and the anticipated timing of the transaction. Words such as “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside of SensaSure’s and Verde’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause actual future events to differ materially from the expected results, include, but are not limited to: (i) the risk that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of SensaSure’s and Verde’s securities, (ii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transaction, including the approval of the Merger Agreement by the Verde’s stockholders, (iii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, (iv) the failure to obtain any applicable regulatory approvals required to consummate the Merger, (v) the receipt of an unsolicited offer from another party for an alternative transaction that could interfere with the Merger, (vi) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on SensaSure’s and Verde’s business relationships, performance, and business generally, (vii) the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Merger, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the post-combination company to grow and manage growth profitability and retain its key employees, (viii) costs related to the Merger, (ix) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may instituted against SensaSure or Verde, regarding the proposed Merger, (x) the ability to maintain the listing of SensaSure’s or Verde’s securities on the OTC prior to the Merger, (xi) the risk that SensaSure or Verde is not able to maintain and enhance its brand and reputation in its marketplace, adversely affecting SensaSure’s or Verde’s business, financial condition and results of operations, (xii) the risk that periods of rapid growth and expansion could place a significant strain on SensaSure’s resources, including its employee base, which could negatively impact SensaSure’s operating results; (xiii) the risk that SensaSure may never achieve or sustain profitability; (xiv) the risk that SensaSure may need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which many not be available on acceptable terms or at all; and (xv) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Registration Statement. There may be additional risks that SensaSure or Verde does not know or that SensaSure and Verde currently believe to be immaterial that could also cause results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and SensaSure assumes no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

 

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Recipients should carefully consider such factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of periodic reports filed by SensaSure or Verde with the SEC, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and other documents filed or to be filed by SensaSure from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Recipients are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and neither SensaSure, nor Verde assumes any obligation to, nor intend to, update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.
