Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This communication includes forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements generally can be identified by phrases such as "will," "expects,"
"anticipates," "foresees," "forecasts," "estimates" or other words or phrases of
similar import. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates
and projections about the industry, markets in which Greenlane and KushCo
operate, management's beliefs, assumptions made by management and the
transactions described in this communication. While Greenlane's and KushCo's
management believes the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements
and information are reasonable, such information is necessarily subject to
uncertainties and may involve certain risks, many of which are difficult to
predict and are beyond management's control. These risks include, but are not
limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that
could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (2) the outcome of
any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties and others
following announcement of the Merger Agreement; (3) the inability to consummate
the merger due to the failure to obtain the requisite stockholder approvals or
the failure to satisfy other conditions to completion of the merger; (4) risks
that the proposed merger disrupts current plans and operations of Greenlane
and/or KushCo; (5) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the
merger; and (6) the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and charges related to
the merger; and the other risks and important factors contained and identified
in Greenlane's and KushCo's filings with the SEC, such as their respective most
recent Annual Reports on Form 10-K, any of which could cause actual results to
differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this communication.
There can be no assurance that the merger will in fact be consummated on the
expected timeline or at all. We caution investors not to unduly rely on any
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the
date of this press release. Neither Greenlane nor KushCo is under any duty to
update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this
communication, nor to conform prior statements to actual results or revised
expectations, and neither Greenlane nor KushCo intends to do so.
