Forward-Looking Statements

 

This communication, and all oral statements made regarding the subject matter of this communication, contain “forward-looking” statements as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the proposed transaction. Such forward-looking statements reflect current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Statements that include the words “should,” “would,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “project,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “will,” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements in this material for within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All such forward-looking statements involve estimates and assumptions that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in the statements. Among the key factors that could cause results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements are the following: any delay or failure to consummate the proposed transaction; failure to obtain requisite stockholder approval for the proposals set forth in the Proxy Statement; the new investment adviser’s ability to manage StoneCastle Financial Corp.’s investment strategy as anticipated; the impact that any litigation may have on the parties or the transaction; risks related to the diversion of management’s attention from StoneCastle Financial Corp.’s ongoing business operations; and the impact of potential legislative, regulatory and competitive changes. Additional risk factors that may affect future results are contained in the StoneCastle Financial Corp.’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are available at the SEC’s website http://www.sec.gov. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this communication. StoneCastle Financial Corp. undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date hereof.
