performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company’s or flyExclusive’s business and changes in the combined capital structure, (xi) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the proposed transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities, and (xii) the risk of downturns and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive aviation industry. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s registration on Form S-1, the proxy statement that will be filed as discussed herein and other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC.

Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and flyExclusive and the Company assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. flyExclusive nor the Company gives any assurance that either flyExclusive or the Company or the combined company will achieve its expectations.
The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.
