This information includes, but is not limited to, statements concerning our objectives, our strategies to achieve those objectives, as well as statements made with respect to management’s beliefs, plans, estimates, projections and intentions, and similar statements concerning anticipated future events, results, circumstances, performance or expectations that are not historical facts. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “expects”, “estimates”, “outlook”, “forecasts”, “projection”, “prospects”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “will”, “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, intentions, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information. Forward-looking information in this news release includes, among other things, statements relating to the transaction and timing for completion of the transaction. Forward-looking information is necessarily based on a number of opinions, estimates and assumptions that the Company considered appropriate and reasonable as of the date such statements are made in light of its experience, current conditions and expected future developments, including assumptions: that any conditions precedent to the closing of the transaction can be satisfied, and that there will be no undue delays with respect to the transaction.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of ARR to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others: failure to satisfy closing conditions to effect the transaction; the risk that the transaction may involve unexpected costs, liabilities or delays; risks related to the diversion of management’s attention from ARR’s ongoing business operations; the risk that the transaction may not close when planned or at all or on the terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement; the risk of the expected benefits from the transaction not being realized; and general business, economic and competitive uncertainties, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2023, Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2023, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the interim period ended September 30, 2024.

Although the Company has attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other risk factors not presently known to management of the Company or that it presently believes are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking information. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results. Accordingly, shareholders should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information, which speaks only as of the date made. The forward-looking information contained in this news release represents the Company’s expectations as of the date of this news release (or as the date they are otherwise stated to be made) and is subject to change after such date.
