These forward-looking statements are based on STWO\u2019s and ESS\u2019 current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on STWO, ESS or any successor entity of the proposed transactions. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this presentation, including but not limited to: (i)\u00a0the risk that the proposed transactions may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of STWO\u2019s securities, (ii)\u00a0the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the proposed transactions, (iii)\u00a0the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the business combination, (iv)\u00a0the effect of the announcement or pendency of the proposed transactions on ESS\u2019 business relationships, operating results and business generally, (v)\u00a0risks that the proposed transactions disrupt current plans and operations of ESS, (vi)\u00a0changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which ESS plans to operate, variations in operating performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting ESS\u2019 business and changes in the combined capital structure and (vii)\u00a0the ability to implement business plans, forecasts and other expectations after the completion of the proposed transactions, and identify and realize additional opportunities. There can be no assurance that the future developments affecting STWO, ESS or any successor entity of the proposed transactions will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond STWO\u2019s or ESS\u2019 control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the \u201cRisk Factors\u201d section of STWO\u2019s registration statement on Form\u00a0S-1\u00a0(File\u00a0No.\u00a0333-248515), the registration statement on Form S4 (File\u00a0No.\u00a0333-257232) filed in connection with the business combination, and other documents filed by STWO from time to time with the SEC. These filings 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. Except as required by law, STWO and ESS are not undertaking any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
