Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events or conditions that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including, but not limited to: the risk that the proposed transactions may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of CEPT's securities; the risk that the proposed transactions may not be completed by CEPT's business combination deadline; the failure by the parties to the business combination agreement to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the proposed business combination, including the approval of CEPT's shareholders, or the proposed private placement for CEPT Class A ordinary shares expected to close immediately prior to the consummation of the proposed business combination; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transactions; the level of redemptions of CEPT's public shareholders which may reduce the public float of, reduce the liquidity of the trading market of, and/or maintain the quotation, listing, or trading of CEPT Class A ordinary shares or the shares of common stock of Pubco; the lack of a third-party fairness opinion in determining whether or not to pursue the proposed business combination; the failure of Pubco to obtain or maintain the listing of its securities on any securities exchange after closing of the proposed transactions; costs related to proposed transactions and as a result of becoming a public company; changes in business, market, financial, political and regulatory conditions; risks relating to Pubco's anticipated operations and business, including the highly volatile nature of the price of digital assets; risks related to increased competition in the industries in which Pubco will operate; risks relating to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty regarding digital assets and tokenization; risks relating to the treatment of digital assets for U.S. and foreign tax purposes; risks that after consummation of the proposed transactions, Pubco experiences difficulties managing its growth and expanding operations; challenges in implementing Pubco's business plan (including expanding and/or growing its advisory services business) due to operational challenges, significant competition and regulation; being considered to be a "shell company" by any stock exchange on which Pubco's common stock will be listed or by the SEC, which may impact Pubco's ability to list Pubco's common stock and restrict reliance on certain rules or forms in connection with the offering, sale or resale of securities; the outcome of any potential legal proceedings that may be instituted against Pubco, Securitize, CEPT or others following announcement of the proposed transactions, and those risk factors discussed in documents that Pubco and/or CEPT filed, or that will be filed, with the SEC.

You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of the CEPT IPO Prospectus, CEPT's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, CEPT's Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Registration Statement that will be filed by Pubco and Securitize and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus contained therein, and other documents filed by CEPT and Pubco from time to time with the SEC. These filings do or will 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. There may be additional risks that CEPT, Securitize and Pubco do not presently know or that CEPT, Securitize and Pubco currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
