Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
Certain statements in the foregoing, including those that express belief, expectation or intention, are “forward-looking” statements based on assumptions currently believed to be valid. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of historical facts. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “ensure,” “expect,” “if,” “intend,” “estimate,” “probable,” “project,” “forecasts,” “predict,” “outlook,” “aim,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “potential,” “may,” “might,” “anticipate,” “likely,” “plan,” “positioned,” “strategy,” and similar expressions or other words of similar meaning, and the negatives thereof, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Specific forward-looking statements include statements regarding the Company’s plans and expectations with respect to the debt offering, including the anticipated use of the proceeds therefrom, and the pending transactions contemplated by that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of October 3, 2023, by and between the Company and Vencer Energy, LLC (the “Purchase Agreement” and such transactions, the “Acquisition”). The forward-looking statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside the Company’s control, and which may cause actual results and future trends to differ materially from those matters expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those described in forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the following:
- the Purchase Agreement relating to the Acquisition may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Acquisition may not be completed;
- the parties may not be able to satisfy the conditions to the completion of the Acquisition in a timely manner or at all;
- the Acquisition may not be accretive, and may be dilutive, to the Company’s earnings per share, which may negatively affect the market price of the Company’s common stock;
- the Company may incur significant transaction and other costs in connection with the Acquisition in excess of those anticipated by the Company;
- the Company may fail to realize anticipated synergies or other benefits expected from the Acquisition in the timeframe expected or at all;
- the ultimate timing, outcome, and results of integrating the assets related to the Acquisition into the Company’s business;
- the risk related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the Acquisition;
- the effects of the Acquisition, including the Company’s future financial condition, results of operations, strategy, and plans;
- changes in capital markets and the ability of the Company to finance operations in the manner expected;
- any litigation relating to the Acquisition; and
- disruptions to our business due to other significant transactions.
Additional information concerning other factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” sections in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other filings made with the SEC, each of which is on file with the SEC.
All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based on information available at the time they were made. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as required by federal securities laws. As forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, caution should be exercised against placing undue reliance on such statements.
