Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “intends”, “estimates”, “projects”, “potential” and similar expressions, or that events or conditions “will”, “would”, “may”, “could” or “should” occur or be achieved. This press release contains forward-looking statements pertaining to, among other things, the outside date for the Transaction.

Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking information. The material risk factors include, but are not limited to: the ability of Horizon to complete the Transaction before the outside date for completion of the Transaction.
