This release contains certain information and statements that may constitute "forward-looking information" within the meaning of Canadian securities laws. Often, but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as "expects", or the negative of such words or other variations or synonyms for such words, or state that certain actions, events or results "may" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.
Forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance, achievements or developments to be materially different from those anticipated by the Group and expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Forward-looking information contained in this release includes, but is not limited to, statements with respect to: (i) the ability of Intertain to implement the redemption of the Exchangeable Shares on the terms and timeline anticipated by Intertain, (ii) the delisting of the exchangeable shares, and (iii) the ability of the Group to reduce its administrative and compliance costs in Canada. These statements reflect the Group's current expectations related to future events or its future results, performance, achievements, developments, actions and future trends affecting the Group. All such statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking information.
Such forward-looking information is based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including, without limitation, that the Risk Factors (as defined below) will cause actual results, performance, achievements or developments to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking information.

The foregoing Risk Factors are not intended to represent a complete list of factors that could affect the Group.
Although the Group has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results, performance, achievements or developments to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actual results, performance, achievements or developments not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results, performance, achievements or developments are likely to differ, and may differ materially, from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking information contained in this release. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. While subsequent events and developments may cause the Group's expectations, estimates and views to change, the Group does not undertake or assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, except as required by applicable securities laws.
