Forward-Looking Statements:

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The expectations, estimates, and projections of the business of IGI may differ from its actual results and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, expectations with respect to future performance, projected financial information and statements regarding the anticipated financial impact of the transaction. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside of the control of IGI and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the risk that the transaction disrupts current plans and operations ; (2) the potential inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the transaction, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of IGI to grow and manage growth profitably and IGI’s ability to retain its key employees; (3) costs related to the transaction; (4) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (5) the demand for IGI’s services together with the possibility that IGI may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors globally and in the regions in which it operates; (6) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of IGI Holdings’ common shares or warrants on Nasdaq in connection with or following the closing of the transaction, including due to the inability to satisfy Nasdaq’s minimum 300 round lot holder requirement; (7) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties in connection with or related to the business combination agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (8) the potential effects of the coronavirus pandemic; and (9) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Form F-4 and proxy statement relating to the transaction, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in IGI Holdings’ other filings with the SEC. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. In addition, any financial projections and forward-looking statements issued by the parties (including statements about IGI’s anticipated performance in 2020 or 2021) are inherently based on various estimates and assumptions that are subject to the judgment of those preparing them and are also subject to significant economic, competitive, industry and other uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict and many of which are beyond the control of IGI. There can be no assurance that IGI’s financial condition or results of operations will be consistent with those set forth in such financial projections and forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. IGI does not undertake or accept 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.
