Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. The Company’s, Powerfleet’s and the combined business’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside the parties’ control and are difficult to predict. The risks and uncertainties referred to above include, but are not limited to, risks related to: (i) the completion of the Transactions in the anticipated timeframe or at all; (ii) the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Transactions including, but not limited to the ability to obtain approval of the shareholders of the Company and stockholders of Powerfleet and the ability to obtain the Financing; (iii) the failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals; (iv) the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions; (v) the ability to successfully integrate the businesses; (vi) disruption from the Transactions making it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships; (vii) the negative effects of the announcement of the Transactions or the consummation of the Transactions on the market price of Powerfleet’s or the Company’s securities; (viii) significant transaction costs and unknown liabilities; (ix) litigation or regulatory actions related to the Transactions; and (x) such other factors as are set forth in the periodic reports filed by
Powerfleet and the Company with the SEC, including but not limited to those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in their annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and any other filings made with the SEC from time to time, which are available via the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by these forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements included in this report are made only as of the date of this report, and except as otherwise required by applicable securities law, neither Powerfleet nor the Company assume any obligation nor do they intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
