Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the Exhibits hereto (“Report”) may contain, and certain oral statements made by representatives of Pubco and its respective affiliates, from time to time may contain, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Statements regarding Integrated Wellness and Refreshing’s expectations with respect to anticipated financial impacts of the proposed Transaction, the timing of the completion of the proposed Transaction, Refreshing’s projected financial and operational performance, new product offerings that Refreshing may introduce, and related matters, as well as all other statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions, as they relate to Integrated Wellness or Refreshing’s management team, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, Integrated Wellness’ and Refreshing’s management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in Integrated Wellness’ and Pubco’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Most of these factors are outside the control of Integrated Wellness and Pubco and are difficult to predict. In addition to factors disclosed in Integrated Wellness and Pubco’s filings with the SEC, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements: the risk that the Transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of the securities of Integrated Wellness; the risk that the Transaction may not be completed by Integrated Wellness’ business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by Integrated Wellness; inability to meet the closing conditions to the Transaction, including the occurrence of any event, change, legal proceedings instituted against Refreshing or against Integrated Wellness related to the Merger Agreement or the management team, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; the inability to complete the Transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement due to the failure to obtain approval of Integrated Wellness’ shareholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals; changes in Pubco’s capital structure; redemptions exceeding a maximum threshold or the failure to maintain the listing of Integrated Wellness’ securities or failure of Pubco to meet The New York Stock Exchange’s initial listing standards in connection with the consummation of the contemplated Transaction; costs related to the Transaction contemplated by Merger Agreement and the failure to realize anticipated benefits of the Transaction or to realize estimated pro forma results and underlying assumptions, including with respect to estimated shareholder redemptions; a delay or failure to realize the expected benefits from the proposed Transaction including Refreshing’s ability to effectively develop and successfully market new products, solutions and services, and to effectively address cost reductions and other changes in its industry; risks related to disruption of management’s time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed Transaction; changes in the markets in which Refreshing competes, including with respect to its competitive landscape, technology evolution or the impact of regulatory changes on solutions, services, labor matters, international economic, political, legal, compliance and business factors; developments and uncertainties in domestic and foreign trade policies and regulations, and other regulations which may cause contractions or affect growth rates and cyclicality of markets Refreshing serves; disruptions relating to war, terrorism, widespread protests and civil unrest, man-made and natural disasters, public health issues and other events; changes in domestic and global general economic conditions; risk that Refreshing may not be able to execute its growth strategies; security breaches or other disruptions of Refreshing information technology systems or violations of data privacy laws; risks related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and response, including new variants of the virus; the pace of recovery in the markets in which Refreshing operates; global supply chain disruptions and potential staffing shortages at potential customers which may have a trickle-down effect on Refreshing; the risk that Refreshing may not be able to develop and maintain effective internal controls; changes in interest rates; increased competition and the ability to generate sufficient cash to fulfill obligations; loss of certain key officers; loss of continued relationships with customers or bus operators; and Pubco’s success at managing the foregoing items. The forward-looking statements are based upon management’s beliefs and assumptions; and other risks and uncertainties to be identified in the Form S-4 registration/proxy statement (when available) relating to the Transaction, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in other filings with the SEC made by Integrated Wellness or Pubco. Each of Integrated Wellness, Pubco and Refreshing undertake no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes after the date of this Report except as required by law. 

 

The financial projections presented in this Report represent the current estimates by Refreshing’s management of future performance based on various assumptions, which may or may not prove to be correct. Refreshing’s independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections and accordingly they did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto. These projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying these projections are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in these projections. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that these projections will be realized. Further, industry experts may disagree with these assumptions and with management's view of the market and the prospects for Refreshing.

 

 

 

  

Additional Information and Where to Find It

 

In connection with the proposed Transaction, Pubco intends to file a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Form S-4”) with the SEC, which will include a preliminary prospectus with respect to its securities to be issued in connection with the Transaction and a preliminary proxy statement with respect to Integrated Wellness’ shareholder meeting at which Integrated Wellness’ shareholders will be asked to vote on the proposed Transaction. Each of Integrated Wellness, Pubco and Refreshing urge investors, shareholders, and other interested persons to read, when available, the Form S-4, including the proxy statement/prospectus, any amendments thereto, and any other documents filed with the SEC, before making any voting or investment decision because these documents will contain important information about the proposed Transaction. After the Form S-4 has been filed and declared effective, Integrated Wellness will mail the definitive proxy statement/prospectus to shareholders of Integrated Wellness as of a record date to be established for voting on the Transaction. Integrated Wellness’ shareholders will also be able to obtain a copy of such documents, without charge, by directing a request to: Integrated Wellness Acquisition Corp., 148 N Main Street, Florida, NY 10921; e-mail: investor@integratedwellnessholdings.com. These documents, once available, can also be obtained, without charge, at the SEC’s website www.sec.gov.

Information concerning the interests of Pubco and Integrated Wellness’ participants in the solicitation, which may, in some cases, be different from those of their shareholders generally, will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Transaction when it becomes available. These documents can be obtained free of charge from the source indicated above.
