Factors that may cause such differences 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 inability to consummate the Business Combination, including due to any failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of SANUWAVE or SEPA or other conditions to closing in the merger agreement, such as the requirements that (i) SANUWAVE obtain the approval of the holders of 80% of its outstanding convertible promissory notes and warrants to convert such securities into shares of SANUWAVE's common stock immediately prior to the closing and (ii) SEPA shall have at least $12.0 million at closing resulting from proceeds of (a) SEPA's Class A common stock that has not been redeemed and (b) a private placement; (3) delays in obtaining or the inability to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals required to complete the Business Combination; (4) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of SEPA's securities on Nasdaq following the Business Combination; (5) costs related to the Business Combination; (6) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (7) the possibility that SANUWAVE or SEPA may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and (8) other risks and uncertainties to be identified in the registration statement/proxy statement (when available) relating to the Business Combination, including those under "Risk Factors" therein, and in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") made by SANUWAVE and SEPA. SANUWAVE and SEPA caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive, and caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Neither SANUWAVE nor SEPA undertakes or accepts any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, subject to applicable law.
