A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The press release shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose, including for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act regardless of any general incorporation language in the filing.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain statements that are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the Business Combination, including without limitation statements regarding the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, the anticipated timing of the Business Combination, the products offered by the Company and the Seller and the markets in which each operates, the implied enterprise value, future financial condition and performance of the combined company after the Closing and expected financial impacts of the Business Combination, the satisfaction of closing conditions to the Business Combination, the level of redemptions of CAC’s public shareholders and the products and markets and expected future performance and market opportunities of the combined company. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “think,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “potential,” “plan,” “seeks,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. 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 risks and uncertainties.
These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this communication, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of CAC’s and the Seller’s securities; (ii) the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed by CAC’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by CAC; (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, including the approval of the Business Combination Agreement by the shareholders of CAC, the satisfaction of the closing requirements and the receipt of certain governmental, regulatory and third party approvals; (iv) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; (v) redemptions exceeding anticipated levels; (vi) the failure to meet Nasdaq initial listing standards in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination; (vii) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Business Combination on the Company’s business relationships, operating results, and business generally; (viii) risks that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of the Company and the Seller; (ix) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against CAC, Pubco, the Company or the Seller related to the Business Combination Agreement or the Business Combination; (x) changes in the markets in which the Company competes, including with respect to its competitive landscape, technology evolution, or regulatory changes; (xi) changes in domestic and global general economic conditions; (xii) the risk that Pubco and the Company may not be able to execute their growth strategies; (xiii) risks related to supply chain disruptions; (xiv) the risk that Pubco may not be able to develop and maintain effective internal controls; (xv) costs related to the Business Combination and the failure to realize anticipated benefits of the Business Combination or to realize estimated pro forma results and underlying assumptions, including with respect to estimated shareholder redemptions; (xvi) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination and to achieve commercialization and development plans, and identify and realize additional opportunities, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth economically and hire and retain key employees; (xvii) inability to achieve successful results or to obtain licensing of third-party intellectual property rights for future discovery and development of the Company’s projects; (xviii) failure to commercialize products and achieve market acceptance of such products; (xix) the risk that the Company will need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; (xx) the risk that Pubco will experience difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations; (xxi) the risk of product liability or regulatory lawsuits or proceedings relating to the Company’s business; (xxii) risks associated with intellectual property protection; (xxiii) the risk that the Company is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property and (xxiv) those factors discussed in documents of CAC and Pubco filed or to be filed with the SEC, including in the registration statement relating to the Business Combination (the “Registration Statement”).

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that will be described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Registration Statement and the amendments thereto, and other documents to be filed by CAC and Pubco 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. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and while the Pubco and CAC may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, they assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. None of Pubco, the Seller, the Company or CAC gives any assurance that Pubco, the Seller, the Company or CAC will achieve expectations. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Pubco’s, CAC’s, the Seller’s or the Company’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon any forward-looking statements.
Additional Information About the Business Combination and Where to Find It

Shareholders of CAC and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, these materials (including any amendments or supplements thereto) and any other relevant documents in connection with CAC’s solicitation of proxies for the meeting of shareholders to be held to approve, among other things, the Business Combination, because they will contain important information about CAC, the Company, Pubco and the Business Combination.
